Match Summary
Lake Balboa started off ready to play & pounced on the Magnolia Science Academy Reseda Warriors in set 1. The Warriors fought back & did some pouncing of their own with a return fire win in set 2. Set 3 was a hammer & tongs affair with both teams trading points until the score was 23 all. That was the pivot point upon which the match precariously balanced. MSA Reseda came up with 3 of the next 4 points to take it. The deflated Cougars started cold 0-2. A timeout for Lake Balboa. The Cougars caught the Warriors a couple of times only to slip away again. A late rally by LBCP was too little & too late as the Warriors won it in 4. Lake Balboa did play some defense racking up 72 digs. Molly Yeagley tallied 18 with Darla Wiltz at 15, Athena Orujyan at 12, & Maneh Parsadanyan with 14. Serving helped because of Darla knocking down 12 aces. Passing & hitting were very weak. 24 REs meant that MSA Reseda got 6 points per game off Cougar passing. The hitting finished at -.010.
