Warr served 6 aces, Jordan served 2, Josie McConnell served 1, McRae served 3, and both Kassidy Widner and Savannah McConnell served 4. Warr carried the team with assists, totaling 22.

“The girls came out of the gate focused and ready to take care of business,” said coach Deanna Canfield. “We let up the gas and just couldn’t come back and finish the game. I have a young team, the maturity on finishing a game in 3 will come with experience. I have no doubt. This team is a great one. We will get in the gym, work on a few things and be ready for our next match.”
