Match Summary
St. Martin and Hancock went toe-to-toe in the first two sets. St. Martin was a blocking force tonight, showing some strong life at the net that we have not seen in some time. However, the strength of Hancocks' swings and precision of the seam balls just got the best of the Lady Yellow Jackets! This is a young St. Martin team that is showing signs of cohesion that will be dangerous if the chemistry continues to grow. Hancock's team has a lot of potential, especially with its strong group of underclassmen.
