Lady Trojans stung by Hornets, fall from division bracket

CHURCHHILL – The Drummond Lady Trojans fought the good fight, but in the end it wasn’t enough to beat White Sulphur. The Lady Hornets beat the Lady Trojans 3-0 Friday afternoon, eliminating the locals and advancing themselves in the Western Division Volleyball Consolation Bracket.

White Sulphur controlled the opening set to take a 1-0. Drummond responded with a big margin to open the second, leading 14-7 before allowing the Lady Hornets to creep back in. The two teams eventually knotted the game at 19-all before the Lady Trojans opened up- another lead only to watch it slip away. White Sulphur claimed the 26-24 victory to take a 2-0 lead in the match.

When the third set started, the Lady Hornets had all the momentum. They broke open a 10-2 advantage before Drummond called a timeout to reset itself. The respite allowed the locals to close the gap but never fully. White Sulphur won set 3 25-19 to eliminate the Lady Trojans.
