Match Summary
Rossville allowed us to steal the third set with five missed serves, but other than that blip, they pretty much had control of the match to win in four. Our poor passing in serve receive (Stankard at 1.31, Bowman at 1.50, and Ayres at 1.58) just kept putting us in an outright hole (aced 11 times) or out of system (32 times - 12 by Stankard alone) to the point where we forced to send free balls or the Hornets where killing our overpasses.
