25-22, 16-25, 25-22, 25-18
Phew - Austin Prep did a great job finding our weaknesses. Kudos to them for making this a fight for every point. It will be a great rematch when we host them in two weeks.
Back and forth, back and forth, Andover could not break away in the first set and had to come back from a 14-19 deficit to win it.
The second set was Austin Prep’s. They found their groove and the only time we gained momentum was in the waning a-little-to-late moments.
Credit to PAVB for not getting down on ourselves for mistakes in the third and fourth sets, and scoring the plays that left no doubt about the fact that we won that point, even though losing points on calls that could have been interpreted differently.
Pride in PAVB - the whole team, the deep bench. Onward to Saturday against a perennial strong SPS.
