Fossil Ridge had to skate by with only a one-set margin when they last took the court, which might have inspired the three-set drubbing they dealt Legacy on Saturday. The SaberCats put the hurt on the Lightning with a sharp 3-0 win. That result was just more of the same for these two, as the SaberCats also won the last time the pair played back in August of 2024.
Not only was the match a shutout, it was a big one: Fossil Ridge took every set by at least 11 points. The match finished with set scores of 25-11, 25-13, 25-14.
Among those leading the charge was Trinity Burchett, who had six digs and four aces. That's the most aces she has posted since back in November of 2024.
Burchett wasn't the only good server: Fossil Ridge was lethal from the service line and finished the game with 13 aces. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now served at least six aces in 13 consecutive contests dating back to last season.
