Royals Can't Hold Lead Fall to Oaks

Atherton, CA – The Hope International women's volleyball team (8-14, 3-8) couldn't hold off the Menlo College Oaks as they fell 3-1 on the road on Saturday evening in Atherton, CA.

It was a back and forth first set as the teams exchanged leads with the Oaks taking an early 12-9 lead. The Royals kept it close as the game continued to swing back and forth. Later with the Oaks leading 20-19 the Royals finished on a 6-1 run with kills from Macie Powell, Ryann Gaglio, Cassidy Koffroth and Addie Mathias as they won the set 25-21 and took a 1-0 lead. The Oaks took control early in the second set as they got out to a 9-5 advantage but the Royals came storming back to take a 12-11 lead off back to back kills from Koffroth. The Oaks would quickly answer to retake the lead 14-12 and never looked back as they won 25-20 to tie the game 1-1.

Looking to retake the lead the Royals got off to a good start in set three as they started on a 6-1 run before going on to lead 11-8 off of a kill from Powell. The Oaks quickly answered on a 6-0 run to take a 14-11 lead before going on to lead 19-14. The Royals didn't let up as they used a 4-0 run to get within 19-18 but the Oaks had all the answers as they closed out the set 25-18 and took a 2-1 lead. The Royals looked to stay alive in the fourth set as they took an early 11-8 lead off a kill from Sofia Ramdhani. The Oaks had other ideas as they battled back to take a 16-15 lead. The Royals answered with a kill from Koffroth to tie it 16-16 but the Oaks used a 8-0 run to take control at 24-16 before going on to win 25-18 and 3-1. Koffroth led the Royals with 12 kills. 
 
The Royals return home for more GSAC action as they host The Master's on Saturday, October 21 at 2:00 PM. Seniors will be honored before the game.
