The Vike’s had to rally for another home match the next day, Tuesday, September 22, against Worthington Christian. It was 17-17 in the first set, but CA ran out of gas and lost the second set 25-19, before falling 25-14 and 25-20 in the third and fourth sets.
Next, CA visited Grandview Heights on Thursday, September 24, to play a stout Bobcats squad, losing 25-7, 25-9, and 25-10. The Vikings looked refreshed against Tree of Life Christian on Saturday, September 26, at home. Our girls won the first two sets, the first of which coming off a fantastic dig by Kerry O’Connor ‘22 and a masterful spike by Olivia Pierre-Louis ‘21 to clinch it at 25-14. Unfortunately, the Trojans just wouldn’t go away. They went on to win the next three sets 25-13, 25-20 and 15-10, taking it 3-2.
The Vikes will look to pick up a home win against rival Bexley on Tuesday, September 29, which is their only match next week.
