**Highlights Below**
The 5th/6th grade girls won their second straight volleyball game in a three-set match earlier tonight. This is the first time in their team history that they have won consecutive games.
After winning the first set 25-21, they dropped the second set, 25-23 after leading 23-21. They went back and forth in the third and deciding set and eventually pulled away to win convincingly 15-8. Fiona closed out the final set with some great serving.
The entire team as a whole is serving so much better than they were at the beginning of the season. They are a little shaky at times on the serve receive, especially against difficult overhand servers. But right now they are limiting their mistakes and it is enough for them to pick up some wins.
Each girl served the ball over at a better rate than 50%, a huge improvement from game one when they played the same team.
In that first meeting, the girls had close to ten chances to win the match and failed on each attempt. This was definitely a game they wanted to win to avenge their loss from earlier this season.
It is a quick turnaround for the girls as they will look to make it three straight with a morning game tomorrow.
BRIEFLY: Even on her birthday, assistant coach Sally came to the game. She shares a birthday with The Great Eunice Tom. Happy birthday to them both as their epic birthday video is below.
