The game was very close as both sets ended in the same score of 25-23. The varsity girls were right there with Joliet Catholic Academy fighting to stay in the game, but unfortunately they weren’t able to pull through.

“When watching the game I was really moved by how well the girls worked together. Even though they didn’t win I was really proud of how motivated they were and all that they accomplished over the season” said spectator Olivia Antolak.

Despite the loss, the team had a great season. They experienced many wins as they went 13-0 in conference and won the South Suburban conference title. Later on they played Tinley Park for the regional title and they took them down in three sets. Lemont won the first set 25-20, lost the second set 19-25 and came back in the third set 25-17 to win the regional title.
