Two days later, the Chieftains were at home, facing off against a tough Bruce squad. This time around, Lake Holcombe had a harder time trying to get the win.

The first two sets went the Chieftains’ way, 25-16 and 25-22, but they dropped the third set, 25-17. Lake Holcombe dug in, but lost the next two, 25-23 and 15-9, to the visiting team.

“The girls played really well tonight, and pulled together to fill the gap left by senior captain/setter Allison Golat-Hattamer,” said coach Beth Meddaugh. “Annabelle Wincek and Graci Willmarth did a great job stepping into the position of setter, after playing another position all season.”

Andres again led on kills, with 6, while Wincek took over on assists, with 10. Larson ended her night, with 35 digs.

The split games brings Lake Holcombe’s record to 6-2.

“I’m very proud of the entire team for working hard,” said Meddaugh.
