The Lady Aces hosted Wayne City on Senior night Monday at the hilltop. The team had big crowd support with a fired up student section.
The Aces and Indians played a tight first set, but the Aces landed on top winning 25-22. The second set the Indians put together a big run. The Aces chipped at it but fell 19-25. The student section was fired up and loud and the girls were ready for a third set. Tensley Dunlap was on fire swinging for kill after kill on the outside putting the Aces ahead at the end 25-22. Tensley had a season high 15 kills, and Mattie Armstrong had a season high 18 assists. What a great game to celebrate the seniors. Scrappy defense, and hard aggressive swinging was on full display.
