However, the ‘Jills rallied with a vengeance with score of 22-25 and 23-25 to force a tie-breaker. However, the energy the Valley girls used to get back in the match showed in the tie-breaker with the Lady Blue Devils winning 15-8 to prevail in the set.
“Our serves in the first two sets were not very good and we didn’t play with any emotion or desire,” said Valley Volleyball Head Coach Gary Partridge. “The energy we used to get back in the match was great, but in the end, we just ran out of gas.”
