Lady Raiders take match with the fifth game victory

Gary Franklin, Sports Writer
The South Ripley HS Lady Raider volleyball teams traveled to Milan High School on Monday night, September 29, for competition against the Lady Indians.
Back to back JV Lady Indian game wins earned them a match victory in the opening session. The game scores were Milan 25-23 SR and Milan 25-22 SR.
In varsity action, South Ripley hit the floor running in high gear with a win in game one by the score of SR 25-13 Milan.
Game two found Lady Indian Coach Terry Wullenweber inserting mostly underclassmen along with senior Darcy Robinson, to try to muster a different look for his team.
The move seemed to work as the motivated group played strong, but again fell to defeat to the Lady Raiders by game's end at SR 25-18 Milan.
The Lady Indian's motivation carried on to game three, as Coach Wullenweber reinserted his regular starting lineup on the floor. They claimed victory of game three and game four forcing a fifth game to fifteen to determine the winner of the match.
The scores of games three and four were Milan 25-21 SR and Milan 25-15 SR.
With both teams pumped and ready to battle in the rubber game for the match, play resumed.
Game five proved to be a challenge for both teams, as neck and neck the teams battled to the finish where the Lady Raiders eventually claimed match victory, 15-13.
