Match Summary
It was a split decision in our 2025 LEAD Academy Spirit Day match, played in a lively setting before their student body! Our Varsity teams clashed first. The 1st set was a close contest, and it looked to be a very competitive match ahead. Inexplicably, though, our shorthanded Varsity squad was unable to stay competitive in the 2nd and 3rd sets. We began making many unforced errors, in addition to our usual struggle with serve receive. With solid preparation in practice this week, Coach Valeri and I were hoping for a better outcome in this annual "grudge match", but the reality is that we brought a young Varsity team this year, with three quarters of our 8 player roster being 7th and 8th graders; and after the first set, they just didn't have their best day on the court.
