The Clark volleyball team fought back from a 2-0 deficit in Tuesday’s district championship game to take the third game and then threatened to take the match to five games, but fell just short, losing 25-20 in the 4th.  Marcella Arellano and Jenn Garrett led the work at the net with 10 kills each. Arellano added 17 digs to that and Nicole Rehm had 16 more. Leading with assists were Kayci Murphy with 17 and Adriana Christian with 12.

The loss means the Cougars face Brandeis on Friday at 6:00pm at Paul Taylor to determine the 2nd place team in district leading into the playoffs. Lots of great volleyball ahead for Clark!
