The Otters jumped out to a 6-1 lead in that final set and went on to record a 15-11 victory, leaving St. Cloud with a 3-2 win and evening their record at 2 wins and 2 losses on the season.
“We played hard, changed our lineup a bit, and worked out some kinks, but overall, the girls fought hard and had a lot of energy on the court,” said Head Coach Sabrina Noon of the Otters. “When we played aggressive, we controlled the court, but when we started to let up, Apollo took advantage of that. They have a lot of hustle and took a lot of swings. I am glad our girls dug their heels in at the end to take the win.”
