From Coach Bryan Masse
Saturday November 5 the Squaws traveled to Seminole to take on the Alpine Lady Bucks in the area playoffs. The Squaws opened the match with a 2-2 win in game one. Even though the ladies were not really playing that well they played well enough to win game one.
In the second game the Squaws got off to a slow start and never really recovered, resulting in a 19-25 loss.
Game three was a repeat of game two. The Squaws had trouble passing the ball and setting up the offense. Alpine continued to run their offense and prevailed 25-18.
Game four was do or die for the Squaws as they needed to win to force a fifth game. The ladies played way too tight and were not able to relax and play their game. Once again Alpine was more consistent and ended the Squaws season with a 25-16 win.
We never really put it together on Saturday. Alpine is a good team but we never really got on track and never really found our rhythm. It seemed like the harder we tried the worse it got.
We had a good season and beat some really good volleyball teams this year. You have to be playing close to your best volleyball when the playoffs start and I feel like we didn’t and that allowed a good Alpine team to get the victory.
