Match Summary
Next came a very competitive Varsity match vs a Lady Lions team that defeated our girls three times last season, including in a tournament. This time, our girls had the edge against a team that was disciplined, organized and passed the ball well, leading to a lengthy, four set match that had many long rallies. We had an advantage with fewer mistakes serving, slightly better ball handling, strong attacking pressure and in my opinion a bit more team chemistry and drive to succeed! In the fourth set, we finally pulled away for the win, capping off an exciting, hard-fought victory for our team and fans, much to the disappointment of the passionate ECA fans in attendance.
