HIGHLIGHTS

  • In the second set, the Trailblazers again started the set with a successful 7-2 run that was highlighted by a pair of services aces by Chloie Garber. The AMCATS rallied to close the gap at 18 all. Following a kill from Elizabeth Brown, Jayna Schmohl took the serve and closed the set with six straight service points, including three service aces.

Continuing the pattern, the AMCATS again evened the score at 12 and traded points with the Trailblazers until the score reached 16-16.
