Cole makes her point

The Clark Cougars slew the Steele Knights in three sets at Clark’s home gym 25-12, 25-21, 25-14.  In the first game, Clark dominated, leading by as much as 14  at the 21-7 mark.

Game two, however, defined the evening for the Cougars, as they fell behind early and were down by at least 7 points for much of the contest.  Down 18-15, the Cougars clawed their way back, tying the game when Rosalyn Velasquez soft tapped a shot over the net making it 18-18.  From that point on, Abby Glosup set up Hunter Cole for a relentless series of kills that stunned Steele and turned the momentum over to the Cougars.

The game was a non-district contest but that action heats up again Wednesday against an improved Holmes team.  The Cougars are 4-2 in district and 18-12 on the season.

Great win, ladies!
