“We started the evening playing right with Gilbert up to 20 points and then errors caused us to lose that first game. After that we just couldn’t seem to regroup and get any momentum going,” coach Donna Carhill said. “After the Gilbert match we readjusted our passing and focus and played more as a team in the Boone match. Our hitting and passing improved in that match significantly and they held on for the win.”
The Rams are 11-13 overall and 2-4 in the HOIAC.
