Lady Cards Lose to TCP, Beat DeSales

WAITSBURG – On Oct. 20, the Lady Cardinals volleyball team fell to Tri-Cities prep in three sets on the TCP court. Waitsburg lost 9-25, 10-25, 7-25.

"We started out really well, and then fell flat. We passed their serves much better than we did the first time we played, but didn't play as aggressive on defense as we needed to. We were back on our heels too much," Cardinal Coach Angie Potts said.

On Oct. 22, the Cardinals scored a win against the visiting DeSales Irish: 25-20, 25-22, 25-22. State leaders were Ariel Sandau with 12 assists, Bailey Adams with six kills and nine digs, Caitlin Mohney with six digs, Caitlyn Jones with nine digs, Devon Harshman with seven kills, two blocks, and Tayler Jones with four aces and two blocks.

"The girls played outstanding against DeSales. They put everything into this match and had a great night on offense and defense. We knew we had to wint this match to create a tie for fourth place in order to have a chance at being able to qualify for the District 7/9 tournament. We don't know the details for the tie-breaker yet, because we still have league matches to complete," Potts said.

The Cardinals last home game of the season will take place on Thurs., Oct. 29 against Dayton. "It is also senior night. I know the football team will be gone to TCP for their last regular game so we'll need parent and community support to cheer the girls on," Potts said.
