Faith Christian of Lafayette rolled into Lake Hills this evening, and left with a 25-22, 25-16, 25-19 victory.
Faith is a very talented and smart team. I believe they have lost only one game this year, and that was when their best player, Morgan Fox, was out. But the girls were coming off of their best performance of the year, and hopes were high that they would be able to stay with Faith.
The first game was tightly contested. No team had greater than a four point lead, which Faith had at 20-16. From that point, Cal/Cal fought back to within one, and stayed within one or two until Faith finished off the game, 25-22. The second game was controlled by Faith from beginning to end. Their second hits over and dinks seemed to catch the Patriots by surprise nearly every time, and the Faith prevailed, 25-16. The third game was closer, but after the girls got close late, Faith turned it on and won 25-19.
Faith plays a different style than what Cal/Cal is used to. They serve well, hit well, play great defense, block well. But what they do best is find holes and keep the opponents off balance. They are the best dinking team we've faced, and really have no weaknesses. Hopefully the girls will be better prepared for them when we take them on Saturday morning in the ICSTS regionals at Heritage Christian on Saturday.
The JV team won in two straight, preceded by the junior high team's win against Stone Academy in three.
Next game is Friday at home against Community Baptist from South Bend. I believe the JV game begins at 4:30, and varsity at 5:30.
