Royals Fall in Straight Sets to Spirit

Fullerton, CA - The Hope International women's volleyball team (10-12, 4-8 GSAC) dropped their fifth game in a row as they fell 3-0 to the Ottawa University Arizona Spirit on Friday evening at home.

It was the Spirit who got out to a fast start and a 7-3 lead. The Royals tried to regroup after the timeout but the Spirit would go on to extend their lead to 13-6. The Royals didn't give up as they rallied as they went on a 4-1 run led by two kills from Kat Schwab to make it 14-10. That's as close as they got though as they fell 25-20 and trailed 1-0. The Royals kept it close early on as a kill by Kat Schwab had them down just 8-7. The Spirit would then seize the momentum as they extended their lead to 13-8. This time the Royals came storming back on a 5-0 run led by two kills from Cassidy Koffroth to tie it 13-13. The Spirit would answer to extend their lead back to 19-14 but the Royals didn't stop as a Judy Juhala kill started a 3-0 run as they made it 19-17. That's as close as they got though as the Spirit closed out the set winning 25-18 as the Royals trailed 2-0. The Royals looked to stay alive in the third set but the Spirit had other ideas as they opened on an 8-1 run before going on to lead 14-4. The Royals then turned the set around as they came storming back on an 11-0 run led by three kills from Kat Schwab to take a 15-14 lead. The Spirit would quickly answer to go back up 18-15 but the Royals didn't give up as they came back to take a 23-22 lead with back to back kills from Addie Mathias. The Spirit though regrouped as they came back to win 25-23 as the Royals fell 3-0. Koffroth led the Royals with 10 kills.
