With former St. Mary's great Sofia and the Mayfields, minus Mrs. Mayfield, looking on, the 5th/6th grade girls broke their trend of losing in three sets with a solid straight set win to improve their record to (2-3) on the season.
After a 25-15 first set win, the girls started fast and pulled away in the middle of the second set in large part to Isabella, who had her best game of the season. She was consistent on her serves and also scored several points on returns for the 5th/6th graders.
As a whole, the girls were much more consistent serving the ball and played with some confidence.
It was nice that on match point, the birthday girl Samantha scored the winning point. Playing up a grade, she has at times like other girls in her grade, struggled serving the ball over the net on a regular basis.
More than halfway through the season, the girls have set themselves up nicely for a playoff run. They have won a set from every team in the division and play each team twice.
Their next game could put them back at .500 if they can win against a team they beat in the first game of the year.
Amy and Annie also had one of their best games of the year.
