Lady Cats Fall to Poplar in 5 Sets as Season Comes to an End

The Harlem Lady Cat Volleyball team conclude a very difficult and challenging season Thursday night in Malta at the District 2B Tournament. In a five set battle with the Poplar Indians, the Lady Cats were defeated 3-2.

The Lady Cats battled back from a nine point deficit in the opening set to earn a 29-27 win. The Lady Cats looked sharp in set number two, winning 25-15 to go up 2-0 in the match.

The Indians would respond in a huge way to shock the Lady Cats. Poplar stormed out to an early lead in set three, eventually winning 25-15. The match was evened at 2-2 after Poplar took set four 25-20.

Looking to keep their season alive in a grueling fifth set the Lady Cats showed a ton of heart, but in the end it was Poplar winning the deciding set 15-9 to end the Lady Cats season.

Harlem played well despite all the adversity. Early on they were extremely competitive falling to good teams in close matches. The three week shutdown due to Covid-19 and playing six matches in a week proved to be too much for the resilient Lady Cats to overcome.

Despite it all the Lady Cats and their coaching staff proved they were willing to compete for every point in every set and never gave up.

Congratulations Harlem Lady Cats on getting through the season together.
