In the second set, the girls took an early lead and played strong through the set. However they did let MP go on a small run of points. They fought close for the second set win. The score ended 25-23 AHS. In the third set, our girls seemed to lose focus and let MP take over. With a final score of 25-18, MP utilized both their outstanding outside hitters to get the win in the third set. In the fourth set, the Eagles solidified their win over the Tomahawks, winning 25-22.
