PULASKI – The Community Viqueens had sizable leads in two of the sets, but couldn’t close the door in either set as the Central Magnet Lady Tigers swept the Viqueens in the semifinals of the District 9-AA volleyball tournament Tuesday night.
The loss ended the season for Community (19-8) in its first season at the Class AA level.
The Viqueens started tight in the opening set as the Lady Tigers went on an early 9-2 run to take a 10-5 lead before Community righted the ship.
The setting game started to appear as the Viqueens used the serving of Kassadie Mack to go on a 6-0 run and took a 13-11 lead.
Community extended its advantage to 20-15 and appeared in control to take the set before the Lady Tigers responded.
Central Magnet used its setting game to score 10 of the final 13 points, including four in a row to erase a Viqueen 22-20 lead as the Lady Tigers took the 25-23 win.
The Lady Tigers got off to a fast start in the second set and forced the Viqueens to play catch up the entire set. Central Magnet scored the first five points before Community clawed back and cut the Lady Tiger lead to 11-9. The Viqueens trailed 15-11 before the Lady Tigers erupted for nine straight points and took the set 25-12.
It was Community’s turn to get off to a fast start in the third set. The Viqueens used a 7-0 run and took an 8-1 lead before the Lady Tigers bounced back. Central Magnet used runs of 5-0 and 4-0 to erase the Viqueen advantage and took a 13-10 lead.
The Lady Tigers increased their lead to 23-18 before the Viqueens attempted one final comeback. Community scored two straight points to get within 23-20, but the Lady Tigers closed out the match by scoring the final two points.
