MERRY HILL – It’s not who wins the first one; it’s who wins the last one.

“We started the first game 19-11, but then got tentative in our offense,” said Lawrence Head Coach Dr. Ed Clouse. “Jamie had some great hits to bring her team (Hobgood) back in the first game.

“We started the second game being more aggressive and took control of the match,” he added.

The Lady Warriors fell 25-22 in the first game, but bounced back to claim the win by counts of 25-23, 25-14 and 25-23.
