IN SHORT
After working out the problems from games on Monday and Tuesday the Colonials came out dominant beginning with the first serve. With strong communication and a minimal amount of mistakes Plymouth-Whitemarsh easily took the first game from an inexperienced Norristown. On the heels of the first game momentum, the Colonials took the second game in similar fashion.
The Eagles would not go down without a fight and the third game proved to be the closest between the two teams. Trading mental mistakes and hard fought volleys the Eagles were able to get a two point edge on the Colonials. But under the consistent serving of senior Elizabeth Keefer the Colonials pulled ahead to close the match out.
