Eagles Fall in Senior Night Thriller
(CORDOVA, TN - September 22, 2022) - The volleyball team celebrated its seniors on Thursday night with pregame festivities and free pizza for students in attendance.
The crowd was treated to a thrilling match that went the full distance.
The opening set was a back-and-forth affair the entire way before the Eagles capitalized on a couple White Station errors to win 25-23.
In the second set, SBA looked poised to take a commanding 2-0 lead before the Spartans stormed back from a massive deficit to steal the set, 26-24.
The Eagles mustered an immediate response, aided by the student section's energy, and rolled 25-12 in the third set.
However, White Station proved to be up to the task, claiming a 25-23 victory in the closely contested fourth set and riding the wave of momentum to a 15-7 fifth set victory to close out the match.
Although the result was disappointing, it was a great night to celebrate the senior class, which includes Bruna DaRosa, Izzy Maher, Gabby Huntley, Abby Adams, and Ella Anderson.
The team is 9-15 and will compete in the Midsouth Classic in Lewisburg, MS this weekend.
