Match Summary
Red Devils Outlast the Horsemen 3-2. After 2 Fire Alarm delays, our Red Devils got off to a lackluster start, going down 2 sets to a plucky Headless Horsemen defense and good serving. In the 3rd set, Peekskill started to minimize errors and play more solidly. By increasing service accuracy, and pouncing on the ball aggressively, our Red Devils came roaring back.
The outcome of the match was never guaranteed. Every point was a contest. The match could have gone either way.
If it was not for Peekskill's determination and grit, the match would have been over early.
