If Brandeis was feeling good fresh off their 3-0 takedown of Churchill last Tuesday, their most recent game may have dampened their spirits a bit. The Brandeis Broncos fell just short of the Clark Cougars by a score of 3-2 on Friday. The result was an unpleasant reminder to the Broncos of the 3-0 loss they experienced in the pair's previous head-to-head fixture back in September.
The defeat didn't mean the game wasn't competitive: Clark scored at least eight points in every set. The match finished with set scores of 23-25, 25-17, 25-18, 20-25, 15-8.
When it comes to explaining why Brandeis lost, don't look at Catalina Gutierrez. Despite the final result, she had 13 digs and three aces. Gutierrez is also on a roll when it comes to assists, as she's now posted 15 or more in the last five games she's played dating back to last season.
Brandeis' loss ended a five-game streak of wins at home and dropped them to 19-22. As for Clark, they are on a roll lately: they've won 14 of their last 16 games, which provided a nice bump to their 25-15 record this season.
Brandeis will head out to take on Madison at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday. As for Clark, they will welcome SA Roosevelt at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday. The teams are on pretty different trajectories at the moment (Clark has four straight wins, SA Roosevelt has 13 straight defeats), but none of that matters once you're on the court.
