St. Mary had to start their season on the road on Thursday, and it wasn't the start they were hoping for. They fell just short of the Wausa Vikings by a score of 2-1. The Cardinals were given a dose of their own medicine in this game as the Vikings apparently hadn't forgotten their loss the last time these teams played back in August of 2024.
In an exciting match in which no team claimed back-to-back wins, St. Mary's sadly wound up on the wrong side. The final score came out to 25-19, 18-25, 25-19.
Their offense was headlined by Tatum Ickes and Gracie Williamson, who picked up nine kills apiece. They got some help from Adyson Peterson and her 22 assists. Delaney Drueke controlled things from the service line, finishing with four aces.
Coincidentally, St. Mary's and Wausa will both be playing Bloomfield the next time they take the court. The Cardinals will head out to face the Bees at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday, while the Vikings will play them later in the day, at 7:00 p.m.
