They lost to Victory Baptist Academy 18-25, 19-25 and Nazarene Christian Academy 25-23, 16-25, 13-15 and tied Houston Second Baptist University Model 21-25, 25-21 and Fort Worth Southwest Christian School 23-25, 25-23.
“We tied twice and lost one set in pool play based off our mistakes that we could have won,” head coach Erin Sawyer said. “There were three teams (in our pool) tied for second at 8-4. Last year we didn’t do well in pool play. This year we lost to the team that won our bracket. We played four and won three in a row.”
