Junior outside hitter Marlysaa Ledgerwood slammed a great hit, set by senior setter Alcista Miller. The Ladies also scored on a combo block by sophomore middle hitter Jenna LaDuke, and freshman setter Kymber-Lee Mcgorman. The Lady Lions built an early 12-3 lead, forcing Sisseton to call a timeout. The Ladies kept on the gas out of the timeout and extended their lead to 20-7. The Ladies would go on to win set one 25-9
In set two, Sisseton got out to a better start and it was back and forth scoring in the beginning stages and it was all up tied 7-7. The Lady Lions made some plays and took a two point lead 10-8. Later on in the set, Alcista set for Mikayla Ledgerwood who scored on a great hit giving us the lead 23-19. The Ladies would go on to win set two 25-22!
In set three, Sisseton came back firing even harder, and going back and forth trading points. The Lady Lions responded well, as they strung together some great plays to attempt to close out the game. Sisseton fired back with a few clutch points in a row and took a 24-21 lead. The Lady Lions closed that gap scoring two points in a row, making the score 24-23. Unfortunately, Sisseton was able to close out the 3rd set winning 25-23!
Going into the 4th set, Sisseton rolled over some of their momentum from the 3rd set taking a 3-0 lead. The Lady Lions refocused themselves and stayed composed, they scored two points in a row, but Sisseton followed up with a scoring run of their own taking an 8-3 lead. From there on the two teams traded points back and forth and Sisseton maintained their 5 point lead 14-9. Head Coach Quincy Wilson called timeout to settle the ladies down and prepare for a comeback. Out of the timeout the Lady Lions came out with a ton of energy and went on a 7-1 scoring run giving them the lead 16-15. The Ladies again went on another 7-1 scoring run taking a 23-16 lead! The ladies then closed with a serve from Senior Alcista Miller winning the game 25-16! This win moves the Lady Lions to 11-10 on the year.
