The teams played even the rest of the way and the Mustangs cruised to a 25-12 victory. “We started slow,” said Pirate Coach Katie Morgan. “I don’t know if it was the early start time or what the deal was, but we struggled early on.”

RLCC jumped on the Pirates the rest of the set while outscoring the Pirates 10-4 to win the set 25-10 for a 2-0 lead in the match. “Rilynn played great in the second set and the match,” said Coach Morgan. “We continue to struggle on passing and that showed today.”

In the third set, RLCC jumped out to a 10-1 lead. Crookston settled down and picked up their play as they outscored the Mustangs 4-3 over the next seven points to get within a 13-4 deficit.
