We held with them and had some leads in the first set but unfortunately could not pull it out," Coach Stremmel adds. "In the second set, we let our frustrations get the best of us and didn't play our usual game. After feeling some fatigue from the long weekend, we fell behind in the third, were able to fight back towards the end but it just wasn't enough to take a set from Fayette."
Mosteller added 19 more assists and Bortner had 12 kills.
Coach Stremmel comments, "We need to continue to learn how to let our frustrations go and play a more positive game, it's something we work on a lot in practice and are certainly improving on."
