In the first game, Richmond jumped out to an early lead and maintained control throughout, securing a 25-15 victory. Despite the deficit, the Lady Bears never backed down and showed determination, battling for every point. The second game was much tighter. The Lady Bears ramped up their intensity, keeping the score close from start to finish. With solid serves, improved defense, and teamwork, Monroe Central pushed Richmond to the limit. Haidyn Knott gave the team a significant boost, serving six straight points and delivering an ace that kept Monroe Central within striking distance.
