ASHVILLE – Every team goes through it, where they don't have their best stuff.
That was certainly the case for the Lancaster volleyball team on Tuesday, Sept. 1, during their game at Teays Valley. The Golden Gales just couldn't seem to find any rhythm or gain momentum against the Vikings.
Lancaster fell behind early in the first set and were immediately put on their heels, and Teays Valley took advantage. Even though the Gales fought back in their third set, it wasn't enough as they dropped their Ohio Capital Conference-Buckeye Division opener, 25-19, 25-17, 25-23.
"We had a great week of practice and practiced really hard and felt like we were in a good place," Lancaster coach Leslie Davenport said. "Defensively, we didn't connect that first set, and we knew we were going to be up against big blocks, and we talked about getting up and having high hands, and when we did it, we scored. Unfortunately, mentally, we didn't get to that place where we were able to get over the hump."
