Ties in JV set one included 5-5, 7-7 and 8-8 before the Lady Eagles cut loose for the win.

Varsity Match
The visiting Lady Raiders played to a 3-0 match victory in their best of five set match. Set one of the match concluded with SR 25-16 over JCD and included no ties nor lead changes. Set two concluded with SR the 25-21 victor, after JCD opened momentarily with a 1-0 lead before the game was knotted at 1-1 with JCD never enjoying another lead or tie the rest of the game. The final set of the match ended with South Ripley and JCD finding ties at 1-1 and 6-6, before the Lady Raiders gained control to win 25-22 over JCD for a 3-0 set varsity match victory.
South Ripley Coach Greiwe stated, “South Ripley’s height advantage was dominant at times, as the Raiders as a team tallied 30 blocks. These girls fight very hard and they work hard on blocking in practice. This is a great strength for us, and it really gets the team motivated when they put up big blocks. I am grateful to have such a great group of girls who work hard everyday and never complain. They are all about teamwork and playing together.”
