The Lady Indians took on Rabun Gap in road action on Tuesday evening, winning in four sets in the best-of-five match. After a thrilling first set win of 26-24, the girls made quicker work in the second set with a 25-9 score to take a 2-0 advantage.

The home team won the third set, handing TFS a 19-25 score. Tallulah Falls won the fourth set 25-16.

“We were trying some new things because we are still experimenting with what works best for the team,” says coach Matt Heyl. “So it wasn’t the prettiest effort, but it wasn’t horrible either.”

Heyl was able to get many of the girls in on the win.

“We served pretty solid which is what we needed since they had about three six-footers,” adds Heyl. “So we kept them out of their offense most of the night. We have a long way to go, but there were some moments of greatness.”

Sarah Jennings played well passing and hitting, and Kitty Rodenas, Jennings, Elsa Sanchez, Addy McCoy, and Sofia Rueda were solid from the service line.

The Lady Indians are now 4-1 overall on the season.
