The JV team got the momentum going early and had 2 fairly easy set wins to take the match.
In varsity action, Lloyd came in riding a 4 game losing streak while the Pioneers have been hitting some early season stride that started at the Bluegrass Invitation Tourney.
Things were looking good for SK early on but Lloyd caught some strong service action that pulled them ahead at 11-10. Lloyd would eventually stretch the lead to 16-12. SK would make a game of it but lost the mo’ at the end and went down to defeat at 21-25.
The Pioneers took control of the second set early on but Lloyd did not buckle. Things would tighten up mid-way through the set but SK went on a nice run at the end of the set to take the win 25-17. The second set win gave the Neers some nice rhythm that they parlayed to the third and deciding game.
The Neers struggled early in the third set but took over after trailing 4-2, went on cruise control and ultimately won the set by a final of 25-15. The entire match was played with peaks and valleys for both teams but SK got things going when it mattered.
