Crowley's Ridge College issued the following announcement on Oct. 8.
Crowley's Ridge College (5-8, 0-2 CAC) got better with each set, but a strong attack from Cottey (11-12, 1-2 CAC) proved too much for the Lady Pioneers.
CRC stayed with the Comets early in the first set, trailing 12-10 midway through the set. An 8-2 run by Cottey vaulted the Comets to an opening set victory 25-16.
With Olivia Deckelman and Hannah Halverson behind the service line, the Lady Pioneers rattled off a 7-1 spell to take their first lead of the match at 8-7. That lead proved short-lived after a pair of Cottey service aces took the wind out of the Lady 'Neer sails. Despite a valiant comeback featuring a Halverson service ace, Cottey took a 2-0 set advantage with a 25-20 set win.
The Lady Pioneers shot out of the gates in the third set by taking a six-point lead with a 13-7 lead. The Comets fought back to tie the set at 22-22, but three consecutive kills by the Comets quenched any thought of a Pioneer comeback with a 25-23 win.
Brooklynn Passmore paced Crowley's Ridge with a seven-kill effort. Passmore also had two aces and seven digs. The Pioneer front row teamed up for five total blocks including a pair of solo stuffs from Deckelman and Paige Glenn.
