As the match started, SK looked tight while Scott had a more focused tournament business look. Scott jumped on SK early on and went out to a 18-5 first set lead. They would win the first set by a score of 25-9. SK looked better at the start of the second set but Scott pushed the GO button and ended SK’s Regional tourney hopes by cruising to a 25-16 win. SK never got on track and made a number of uncharacteristic unforced miscues on serves and kill attempts.
I’m not sure if the Pioneers weren’t focused, ready or just hungry enough. They just didn’t have the same fire that they did the first time they played the Eagles. Frankly, they probably had one of their worst outings of the season as Scott took the Neers down with little fight. Scott often rode the powerful kills of Erin Romito during the regular season. Tonight, the entire Eagle team seemed to step up their game which is a key when it comes to post-season.
The Lady Neers great season comes to an end. Best of luck to seniors Carly Caverly and Emily Damico and congrats to all the players and coaches of all three teams.
