WAVERLY — Waverly rallied from a 2-0 deficit, pulling out a pair of
two-point decisions in the final two sets, for a 3-2 win over S-VE here
Tuesday.
The Lady Panthers, now 1-1, won the first two sets
25-20, and 25-14, but the Lady Wolverines bounced back to win the next
three by scores of 25-21, 26-24, and 25-23.
"We started out well,
but got beat at serve-receive when (S-VE’S) setter and exchange student
Ajsa Zakova started serving,” said Waverly coach Charity Meyers. “For
the rest of the first game and the second, we couldn’t get back mentally
into the game.
“Before the third game started, we came together
as a team and made a change with the attitude and worked hard for every
point,” noted Meyers.
“I am beyond proud of how they played and
the heart they put in the rest of the night to pull off the win,” she
added. “I hope we can just keep building on the momentum of tonight.”
