Another win in the books!
The Freeman Lady Falcons fought back from being down several times throughout the match against the Pawnee City Indians to win 25-23, 23-25, 26-24, 16-25, 16-14.
The Falcons came out strong by dominating the net and serving tough. Freshman Carley Remmers served 3 service aces halfway through the set to spark the Falcons to win the first set. An evenly spread offense also played a part in the Falcons win with 4 kills from Junior Morgan Lenners, and 2 kills each from Senior Savannah Banks, Junior Kylie Trobee, and Carley Remmers.
The second set was a back and forth match between the squads with the Lady Indians prevailing in the end. Carley Remmers led the attack with 4 kills and Kylie Trobee served 3 service aces but the set ended with a service error to prevent the Lady Falcons from taking the 2nd set.
In the third set, the Lady Falcons found themselves down by 6 points early in the match. The Falcons fought back to win the set and were led by Morgan Lenners and Carley Remmers with 4 kills each. Solid serve receive and tough serving by the Lady Falcons propelled Freeman to fight to win the 3rd set 26-24.
Where tough serving and solid serve receive helped the Falcons in the 3rd set, they struggled with both in the 4th set. Junior Kylie Trobee stepped up to lead the Falcons with 4 kills.
