After tying their match against the Roosevelt Rough Riders in the second set, the Madera South Stallions girls volleyball team looked to ride that momentum into the rest of the match for their first three-set win of the season.

However, mistakes bit the Stallions hard late in the match. The Rough Riders won the first set, 25-14, but the Stallions dominated the second set, 25-12. However, Madera South couldn’t keep the momentum going in a 25-18 and 25-21 loss in the last two sets.

In the match, the Rough Riders recorded 14 aces, including one on match point. The Stallions had plenty of hitting errors, including 13 hits out of bounds and 10 attacks that went right into the net. Madera South also missed 10 serves.
