In the first set, starting off with serve receive, the Eagles began shaky and trailing by several points. Unable to recover, the Eagles lost, 25-20.

Starting off with the serve, the Eagles started off with a comfortable lead and kept with it for the majority of the set, overpowering the Cowgirls, 25-17.

In the third set the Eagles came out with increased confidence and intensity pulling out another win, 26-24.

I think we played really well at times, our serving killed us, as a team we missed three in a row, so that’s something that needs to improve. The good news is we received the fourth seed in the playoffs and have a home game this Monday against Immanuel. –Jonathan Penberthy

With only one more game to win, the Eagles were intent on battling and finishing it off. However the Cowgirls were prepared to win the set and go to a fifth game. The Eagles held a slight lead for the majority of the game, but the Cowgirls pushed until both teams were tied and continued to battle until the Cowgirls finally won by two, 29-27.

The Eagles, fired up from the competition came out swinging, the Cowgirls responded with accurate defense. The Cowgirls managed a lead that they kept to finish off the match, 16-14.

Sophomore Hannah Nale is disappointed with the teams loss and looks forward to playing them next year.

“They’ve beat us twice now and we really should have won both times, so I look forward to plating them again next year and bringing our A game,” Nale said. “We tried our best but we couldn’t pull out the win.”

Head coach Johnathan Penberthy saw the game as a chance for improvement.

“I think we played really well at times, our serving killed us, as a team we missed three in a row, so that’s something that needs to improve,” Penberthy said. “The good news is we received the fourth seed in the playoffs and have a home game this Monday against Immanuel.”
