The Varsity Volleyball team played a Tri match on Thursday night against Montague and Manton. The first match of the night the Eagles started out a little slow against the Montague Wildcats. The first set was a tough one for the Eagles with too many hitting errors and a lack of energy losing 25-17. The Eagles came back in the second set playing much better volleyball with a lot more energy and would win 25-15. In the third and deciding set it was a back-and-forth battle between the two teams, but the Eagles would pull out the win 25-21.

In the second match of the night the Eagles would play against a very tough Manton team who has been recognized in the state rankings this season. They have some particularly good hitters and play very tough defense. The Eagles would start out with a strong serve run by Eiliyah Hall in the first set. It would then be a back-and-forth battle until Manton took a 13-8 lead with the Eagles calling their first timeout. The Eagles would come out of the timeout and chipping away at the score. Michaela Bremer would go back to serve with the score at 16-20 and would tie the score up at 20 with some great serving and offense by the Eagles. The rest of the set had some great plays by both teams. With both teams having no timeouts left Brenna Sandison would go back to serve with the score tied at 25 and would serve up two aces to win 27-25,  The second set would be another exciting one. The Eagles would find themselves down 5-10 calling their first timeout of the set. The Eagles came out of the timeout ready to fight back and that they did. Once again, many great plays were made throughout the set, but the Eagles found themselves dropping a close one 21-25. In the third and deciding set it would be another exciting one, keeping everyone on the edge of their seats with some great plays. Despite their significant efforts the Eagles lost another close one 22-25. Excellent job Lady Eagles.
