The Atlantic Trojans volleyball season came to a close on Wednesday night with a 3-0 loss at Red Oak in the opening round of the Class 3A playoffs. The Tigers pounced early with five point runs at the beginning of the first set and near the start of the second set to grab control. The Tigers ended up taking every set by a 25-11 margin.

Red Oak was able to put some nice point runs together and Atlantic couldn’t do the same themselves all night. Atlantic Head Coach Michelle Blake said that was the big story in the match.

Sophie Walker, Chloe Johnson, and Lexi Johnson had very strong nights at the net for the Tigers and Atlantic couldn’t match their consistency. Coach Blake said mental mistakes also cost the Trojans.

The Tigers improve to 31-6 on the season and will host a Regional Semifinal match against Shenandoah next Tuesday night at 7:00pm. Atlantic sees their season end with a record of 6-36.
