The 8th grade girls survived a shaky latter part of the second set, and pulled out a three set victory in Friday night's game, 25-17, 21-25 and 15-6, improving to (3-0) on the season.
After a solid first set, the girls led 10-4 in the second set. But they let their guard down just a bit and ended up trailing 11-10 in a blink of an eye. They made it close towards the end of the set but fell 25-21, forcing a third and decisive set.
They were given another huge lift in the third thanks to Tiffany Y., whose serves resulted in a 6-0 lead. Everybody on the team tonight made at least one pretty difficult play that gave the team a point. There were several dives to the floor, great serves and heads up returns.
One thing this game featured is something the girls have been working on during practice. A lot of them were able to tip the ball around the net, which gave them a lot of points that they wouldn't have gotten even a week ago.
It was a nerve-racking game, but the girls kept their composure and executed when they needed to the most.
