Glendale beats Lebanon in 3 sets



Springfield, Mo. (For OzarksSportsZone.com)  -- Playing on the road is never an easy task in the Ozark Conference. The Lebanon Lady Yellowjackets found that out as they traveled to Glendale on Thursday in a matchup of conference opponents.

These two teams had played recently in a tournament at Lebanon on Saturday. Glendale took that match in two sets and the Lady Yellowjackets were looking for revenge.

The opening set was controlled from the beginning by the Lady Falcons.  They jumped out to a quick lead and took the first set 25-17.
 
The Lady Yellowjackets did not roll over after losing the first set.  Lebanon started with a good lead and finished the second set strong winning it 25-16.

“They did a great job staying in control,” said Lebanon head coach Brittni Jessen.

The third set was neck and neck until the midway point where Glendale pulled away and won it 25-17.

“We really adjusted after the second set,” said Glendale coach Stephanie Bates.“We played more like we did in the first set. This is the first game this season we knew what to expect. We just played Lebanon over the weekend and it helped them play more loose and relaxed.”
 
“We gave up too many runs and made unforced errors that added up,” said Jessen. “We are moving forward and looking towards our next match.”
