Harper College defeated Southwestern Michigan College 25-22, 18-25, 15-25, 25-20, 15-11
The first match today in Lake Michigan was against a volleyball program that had gone dormant for 26 years, and this was their first year back. There was a 1st year coach and the entire roster was first-year players. This match was one for the ages!
In the first set, there were ties at 3-3, 4-4, 5-5, 6-6, 7-7, 8-8… 11-11, 15-15 and 16-16. Harper took a slim lead at 19-16 and tried to nurse that lead to the end… 20-18 and 22-20, but Southwestern Michigan tied the score at 22-22 before Harper took the first set 25-22.
In the second set, there were the usual ties at 5-5, 6-6, 7-7, 9-9, 11-11, 12-12 and 13-13. But Harper fell behind too far at 16-21 on the way to an 18-25 loss.
Third set had its share of ties again at 5-5, 6-6, 8-8 and 11-11. But Harper fell too far behind again at 12-18 on the way to a 15-25 loss.
With Southwestern Michigan taking a 1-2 lead in sets, the fourth set was close, yet again. Ties ensued at 3-3, 4-4, 5-5 7-7, 8-8, 9-9… Harper took a 12-9 lead, but more ties at 14-14, and 15-15. Harper's next lead at 18-15 held up to win 25-20.
Fifth set was likely going to be a barnburner… Harper started out ahead 6-2, and essentially nursed the lead to the end at 7-3, 8-6, 12-9 before winning 15-11. Cana Jones (Walton, IN/Lewis Cass H.S.) had 4 aces for the match… all in this final deciding set.
