Murphy extended their losing streak to three on Thursday, dropping them down to 3-3. They were a single set away from ending the streak, but they lost a 3-2 heartbreaker at the hands of the Andrews Wildcats. The Bulldogs were given a dose of their own medicine in this game as the Wildcats apparently hadn't forgotten their defeat the last time these teams played back in October of 2024.
As for Andrews, they are on a roll lately: they've won five of their last six games. That's provided a nice bump to their 6-2 record this season. While they didn't have the best season last year (they finished 5-15), it's starting to look like those struggles are a thing of the past.
Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead Andrews to victory, but perhaps none more so than Juliet Holloway, who had 23 kills and 20 digs. Holloway is crushing it when it comes to kills: she's had at least seven every time she's taken the court this season. Another player making a difference was Drea Cutshaw, who had nine digs and six aces.
Coincidentally, Murphy and Andrews will both be playing Hiwassee Dam the next time they take the court. The Wildcats will host the Eagles at 6:00 p.m. on Monday, while the Bulldogs will head out to face them at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday.
