Madisonville 2 Trigg County 1

Struggles in service and net play spelled doom for Trigg County, who fell to Madisonville in three games 25-17, 21-25, 19-25 Monday night at Wildcat Gym.

It marked the first time in ten games dating back to last year that Trigg won the first game of the match only to drop the last two.  They did the same thing against Crittenden County last year in Cadiz.  Trigg is now 2-5 this year in three-game matches.

"As a team tonight, we had 82 passing errors.  It is hard to beat any team with that many errors.  The girls  have to pull together and decide they want to win for each other," said Lady Wildcat head coach Rick Erickson.  "After all the gains in the Caldwell match last Thursday, it was as if a different team showed up in the last two games tonight.  We are a MUCH better team than how we played.  Tuesday is another day and another chance for us to right the ship and play like we are capable of playing."

Trigg County jumped out to a 7-1 lead in the first game only to see the Lady Maroons battle back to 13-10.  Casey Banister then served eight straight points to go ahead 21-10 and Trigg was able to hold off Madisonville 25-17.

The second game saw neither team separated by more than four points at any time.  Trigg led 13-11, but Madisonville scored eight of the next 11 points and never trailed again.

In the third game, Madisonville jumped ahead 16-7.  Trigg couldn't take advantage of four consecutive side outs as they failed to score a winner of their serves.  The Lady Wildcats pulled to within five points on two occasions -- 21-16 and 24-19 but didn't serve consistent enough to win.

Casey Banister had 7 aces, 9 assists and 2 kills.

Molly Thompson had 5 aces and 2 kills.

Morgan Parker had 4 kills and 1 block.

Kalesha Williams had 4 kills.

Trigg County fell to 9-14 with the loss, while Madisonville ended a 16-game losing streak and improved to 4-18 by winning their third three-game match of the year.  Madisonville has still never lost to Trigg County.

Trigg JV lost 19-21, 16-21.
