Match Summary
A terrific nail-biter of a match. Grove came out on fire and dominated the first set, but a string of hard serving and a much improved offense from Lincolnview put the Lady Dawgs back to 1-1. Lincolnviews pressure continued late into the third set when the bulldogs rallied. There were 10 lead changes in the third set with both teams going nearly point for point. Tied at 22-22, a string of three points closed it out for the Lady Dogs. The fourth set was much more of the same as the third set with neither team scoring many more than two points on serve. There were several lead changes above 25-25 and ultimately, some hard serving and great digging earned Grove the win.
