Last Tuesday, the Lady Hurricanes took on the Wickliffe Blue Devils after two straight losses; this was a game they needed to bounce back. Heading into the contest, the Lady Canes sported a 2-3 CVC record and 6-5 overall.
In the first set, with the score going back and forth, Wickliffe eventually pulled through and won, 25-20.
The second set saw the hosts jump out to an early lead, and the Lady Canes kept this pace in their favor with consistency. Second set: Hurricanes 25, Blue Devils 17.
Tied 1-1, both Wickliffe and Brooklyn looked to take the lead in the third and crucial set. Wickliffe desperately fought for a lead, but they could not finish what they started, and Brooklyn pulled off an amazing comeback to win the set, 26-24.
Wickliffe was angry, and they played the fourth set with vengeance. It worked as the Lady Canes could not put the match in the books, thus the Blue Devils came away victorious, 25-21.
Tied at 2-2, which team would play their best in the fifth and final? This rubber match was the most important because it decided who would take home the CVC victory.
Both teams played with valiant effort, and both fought for each and every point. The Brooklyn home crowd came through with tremendous support from the beginning to the end. With the support and the persistent effort of the Lady Canes, Brooklyn did exactly what they were supposed to do and came out winners, 15-12.
This five-set victory showed our volleyball team as a team who fights, never quits, excellent determination, and a willingness to win.
This win also keeps their home dominance streak alive, as they have yet to lose on their home floor.
The Lady Canes improved their overall record to 7-5.
“I think that they came in wanting to win, never giving up, and proving they wanted to win,” said head coach Debbie Hall.
Congratulations, ladies! Keep it going.
