The Patriots lost to South Adams 21-15, 11-21, 21-19 and Southwood 21-13, 10-21, 21-14 in the matches that could have lifted them over .500 on the day and the season. Jay County (4-5) also fell to Greenfield 21-19, 21-15, and earned its lone win over the day over Marion 21-12, 21-14.
Theresa Reinhart finished in the top three in the team in both kills and points on the day with seven and 12 respectively. Mary Spencer had a team-high 11 kills, and Jessica Muhlenkamp followed Reinhart with five.
Erica Clark had 20 points, nine on aces, and Ashley Horn scored 14 points. Clark also led the team with 19 assists, followed by Horn’s six.
Amber Cotherman scored all of her nine points on aces, and Spencer added five aces. Jessica Muhlenkamp notched a pair of blocks, and Maria Miller had one block.
