The Trojan volleyball team put up a good fight, but fell short in 3 straight sets to the St. Albert Saintes. It was pink out night in Atlantic and the energy was present in the gymnasium. The first set saw back and forth action for both teams. Maddie Richter had an ace on the set and Atlantic was close to taking the opening set. St. Albert held on and stayed dominant at the net to take the lead 1-0 with a score of 25-22. Head Coach Michelle Blake was impressed from her teams efforts in the first set.

In the second set St. Albert remained focused and had few errors from the serving line. Atlantic on the other hand had 4 errors and lacked concentration. That would lead the Saintes to take the second set by a score of 25-15. Coach Blake noted the difference in her team from the first set.

In the third the match continued to slip away until near the end when Atlantic started to go on a run. Payton Harter had 2 kills which sparked some energy into the Trojans. In the end, St. Albert held on and won 25-11. Coach Blake saw some positives from her teams loss and has no fear going up against Des Moines Christian.

The Trojans are on the road next Tuesday facing the (34-7) Des Moines Christian Lions in the Class 3A Region 3 Quarterfinals in Des Moines.
