Marion unfortunately couldn't capitalize on their home-court advantage in their season opener. They fell just short of the Elcho Hornets by a score of 2-1 on Thursday. The Mustangs were given a dose of their own medicine in this game as the Hornets apparently hadn't forgotten their defeat the last time these teams played back in October of 2024.
Marion started the match hot and won the first set, but they struggled down the stretch and lost the last two. The final score came out to 17-25, 25-23, 15-4.
Marion has already played their next game, a 2-0 win against Faith Christian Academy on the 28th. After both having extra time off, Elcho and Wabeno/Laona will shake off the cobwebs and hit the court against one another at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday. The Rebels will roll in looking for their fifth straight victory, something the Hornets surely won't give up without a fight.
