Lady Falcons fall in Spirited Contest

The Lady Falcon volleyball team brought energy and effort to the court against Sterling City Tuesday night. Unfortunately for Veribest, that wasn't enough as they were defeated in three straight games 25-18, 25-20, 25-17. Sterling City attacked at will, but the Lady Falcons stood up to the pressure. Using consistent team serving, Veribest stayed in the contest. By game two, the Lady Falcons began to build a strong block up front, and the Lady Falcons held a slim lead 18-17. Serve return errors and inconsistent sets plagued Veribest throughout the match, and the Lady Falcons succumbed in the end. However, what was evident from the opening serve was effort. The team played with a positive attitude that led to several bright moments. Lauren Moeller, playing with a back injury, was the all-around star of the contest. Haley Humble hit well once again, and Emily Lankford blocked well in the closing stages of the match.
