If Athens was riding high fresh off their 3-0 takedown of Kemp last Friday, their most recent game may have dampened their spirits a bit. The Athens Hornets fell 3-1 to the Van Vandals on Tuesday. The result was an unpleasant reminder to the Hornets of the 3-0 loss they experienced in the pair's previous head-to-head fixture back in October of 2023.
The match finished with set scores of 25-22, 20-25, 25-11, 25-17.
Among those leading the charge was Averi Crouch, who had 13 digs and two aces. That's the most aces she has posted since back in August. Jailey Potter was another key player, getting six digs and two aces.
Athens has traveled a rocky road recently having lost four of their last five games, which put a noticeable dent in their 9-16 record this season. As for Van, they pushed their record up to 23-10 with the victory, which was their third straight on the road.
Both squads will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Athens will square off against Mabank at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday. After both having extra time off, Van and Lindale will dust off their jerseys to square off against one another at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Lindale will roll in looking for their seventh straight win, something Van surely won't give up without a fight.
