The Lady Pirates battled throughout the entire match, and showed much improvement throughout. “I am disappointed with our loss tonight. We had Corydon down 19-24 in the first set and couldn’t finish. We allowed them to serve eight points and couldn’t put a ball away. We cannot let that happen. We have to continue to earn points and not rely on other teams to make mistakes. When we got down, we tended to play a little tentative instead of being aggressive. Emalee Craven led the team with six kills and four aces. We will come back and work hard tomorrow to prepare for Jeff on Thursday,” commented Head Coach Tammy Nuxoll following the loss.
