For the first time since last year's regional semifinal, Satellite and Merritt Island volleyball squared off with the two teams now in different classes.
The Mustangs, coming off two defeats in Clearwater, bounced back against red-hot Satellite with a four-set win on Sept. 1 winning 25-19, 9-25, 25-17, 25-19.
"Definitely happy with the way we came out, especially not having one of our outsides. That was difficult, but I knew the team would step up and not be rattled by it," Merritt Island head coach Angie Patrick said. "The second set, I just don't know. I knew we just needed to get out of the set and we would recover and be OK. I'm proud of the way we finished. Satellite played amazing so it was a really good match."
After controlling the first set, the second set completely fell apart for Merritt Island scoring a season-low 9 points. The Mustangs were able to regroup and find another gear to bring home the victory.
"Reece (Loggins) is so consistent. She's like our safety blanket. Amazing passer and just had a couple bad passes and the rest of the team just really didn't respond to help her out," Patrick said. "It was one error after the next. We were like that's totally not us. We're going to press the reset ***** on and we're going to turn the switch on. That's what we did."
