For the fifth time this season, the 5th/6th grade girls lost in three sets, following a miraculous comeback to even force a final set.
Down 23-12, the girls rallied back and won in amazing fashion, 26-24. Amy and Isabella spearheaded the run on their serves before eventually stunning the other team and themselves, winning the second set.
But they might have expended all their energy in the second set and barely made a whimper in the final set, losing 15-7.
It was very similar to the first set in which they were completely dominated 25-12.
Their serves were better Sunday and not were not the crux of the problem. Once again, it was the lack of communication on the serve receive. So many balls dropped and hit the ground, and the girls had several hard collisions because nobody talked.
Even one girl admitted after the game, "We didn't (communicate) at all today, and we collided into each other a lot. Even when some of us did call (it), it's either not loud enough or we call it too late."
So it was once again the same huddle the girls have gathered in after the game, trying to dissect another three set loss.
They are now (2-5) on the year, and will need to win next week to have a chance at the playoffs.
