Wittenberg-Birnamwood Battles Tomahawk in Five Set Thriller
Wittenberg/Birnamwood Varsity Volleyball team traveled to Tomahawk for a non conference matchup
CONFERENCE RECORD: 3-3
OVERALL RECORD: 19-13
QUOTE: We played great the first two sets. The timing between our hitters and setters was good and our defenders were picking everything up. Tomahawk cleaned some things up in the third set by missing fewer serves and were more accurate with their hits. This caused us to play with a little more hesitation and then we made more mistakes. Overall, it was a great match with the score going back and forth between both teams but in the end we just couldn’t finish that third set.
