It was a long night for the varsity
Lady Tigers as they hosted the Trinidad Lady Miners for the first home game of
the 2011 season.
The Lady
Tigers took an early lead in both of the first two games with good serves and
strong play at the net making several blocks as well as good shots over the
net. Yet by the time they hit 20 points in the game the Lady Miners were close
on their heels and tied the first game at 20 and each point thereafter until 24
when Raton took a lead and went on to win 26-24 in game one.
Game too
saw the Lady tigers take a quick lead then come up tied at six. Raton pulled
out again going 12-8 but allowed the Lady Miners to tie again at 13, 14, 15 and
16 before pulling out to a 21-17 lead and on to the win.
Again Raton
pulled out in front 5-1 in game three but allowed Trinidad to tie and later
take a short lead 9-8. The game was back and forth with several ties up to 18
when the Lady Miners took the lead and went on to win 25-21.
Many times
the point fell at the net with great play by Lady Miners Molly Roth and Vanessa
Gonzales. Roth the tall girl made several blocks and went head to head with
Lady Tiger Mikala Vertovec on several occasions at the net either making a
block or making the hit.
Game four
saw a totally different story in play.
Somewhere some how the Lady Tigers just seem to fall apart missing
spikes and miscommunicating and allowing the ball to find an open spot in the
defense. The game was tied at four but Trinidad took a 9-4 lead and simply
spread it out. Going up by seven then nine and ten points ending the game at a
dismal for the Lady Tigers 23-11.
The
momentum continued for the Lady Miners going on into the tie breaker game where
they pulled out in front with strong serves and net play making it 10-5 at one
point in the game. They went on to stretch it on out to 12-6 then finished the
game allowing the Lady Tigers to wrangle out four more points before ending the
game 15-10 and winning the match 3-2.
