scored the first 2 points of the opening game but Highland scored the next
5 and never trailed again.
The Lady Patriots struggled with mistakes, missing on 4 serves and letting a lot of balls drop that they normally don’t. Add to that some great net play by Highland and you get an 8-point loss. Summit bounced back in the second game by jumping out to a 9-3 lead after a pair of aces by Hailey Stubbers. Highland came roaring back though and took their first lead of the game at 10-11 as Summit hitting errors and a couple of into the net calls helped the Huskies. Lustig was able to serve Summit back into the lead with 3 aces plus a kill by Lauren Stubbers for a 17-13 lead. Highland was able to chip away though and tied the game at 21-21. Highland later got to game point at 23-24 on an ace. Summit fought that off with Currier scoring on a tip. Claira Osborne then tried to make a set but got lucky when her set went over the net and found an open spot to get Summit to game-point at 26-25. Lauren Stubbers then served an ace for the game-winner. Surviving that second game seemed to wake up the Patriots as they trailed only once in the third game, at 0-1. Lustig served 4 straight o give summit a 5-1 lead. Highland got back within 2 at 8-6 but Summit then pulled away again. Lustig’s second turn at the service line was worth 4 points with Claira Osborne scored 2 kills and Lauren Stubbers and Currier adding 1 each for a 20-10 lead. Rehder wound up serving the game-winning point with an ace. Highland took a 5-8 lead in the fourth game and held the lead until Claira Osborne scored a kill to send her sister Lucy to the service line.
