PEARL RIVER 3, ST. LOUIS 1
Pearl River (9-2) was off to a slow start to begin the match as it was unable to find its footing in the early going. St. Louis (6-7) built out a large lead and before the Wildcats were able to claw their way back, the Archers slammed the door to take the set 25-11.
PRCC flipped the script in the second set, building a large lead of its own. The Wildcats jumped out ahead of the SLCC 6-2 and extended their lead out to 10-7 shortly after.
Pearl River took an 8 point lead a few points later, going ahead 15-7 and eventually evened the sets up at one each with a 25-13 victory.
The Wildcats continued their dominance in the third set, claiming it 25-16 to go ahead 2-1 in the match.
PRCC closed out the match in the fourth set, winning it 25-20 to take the match 3-1.
GADSDEN STATE 3, PEARL RIVER 1
Pearl River’s second match of the day against Gadsden State (3-6) was the exact opposite of their first.
The Wildcats took the early lead after winning the first set of the match 25-18.
A hard-fought second set saw PRCC fall by just two points at 25-23, giving all the momentum to GSCC.
