Wallace tied the match score as they secured the win in the second set 25-18. The match was then sent to the decider. In the third set, the Lady Colts battled would come up short as they lost the match in the deciding set 15-13.
Wallace, as a team collected 13 service aces in the three-set match. They were led by Maddoxx Armes with eight aces. Charlet Eastes followed with a pair of aces, while Chloe Smoot, Emma Alfred, and Savannah Olague each delivered one service ace in the match. Leading the Lady Colts in hits was Eastes with four. Danica Brooks was credited with two hits, while Trinity hard had one.
The Wallace coach Jocelyn Moss said, “The girls did really well in getting their three hits in, instead of just hitting right back over the net. We’ve really been working on that in practice. Savannah, Maddoxx and Chloe lead the team in serves. Charlet was our biggest hitter of the match and did well in all areas. Trinity has an amazing back row hit/kill. I was really proud of how they played today. We’ve only had five practices, so I think they did well for the small amount of time that they’ve had to play together as a team. I am looking forward to watching them improve and grow as a team.”
