We got the upper hand.” The Mustangs fought hard in the second set but couldn’t pull through with the win. The score of the second set was 11-25. Sophomore Sadie Blake says, “There are definitely things we could fix and our energy got low.” The Mustangs finished the game out winning the third and fourth set with scores of 25-20 and 25-19. Junior Kadence Ackmann led the team with 15 kills on the night. Junior Mia Gunn had 17 digs and Senior Kaylin Starling had six blocks on the night.
