The Washington Lady Lion varsity volleyball team hosted the Lions from Fairfield High School Monday, Aug. 22.
Fairfield won the match in three sets, 25-19, 25-21 and 25-22.
“We lost to Wilmington on Saturday,” Washington head coach Ashley DeAtley said. “I think nerves got the best of us, honestly.
“Tonight we started off well,” DeAtley said. “We just had too many gaps. Fairfield was able to capitalize on that. They served tough and they had some aggressiveness. When we were up, we didn’t capitalize on it. We kind of let off a little bit.
“I’m proud of our girls for fighting and getting better consistently through each set,” DeAtley said. “We just fell short, unfortunately; too many errors that we’re going to work on.”
