In the most exciting and rewarding match so far in the season, Coach Woodruff said that the competition from Berkeley Longfellow brought the team together to play hard and to be excited about winning. In the first game, Noelle Lautt and Shelton Rogers made some good hits and digs, but Longfellow came from behind to take the win, 25-23. Piedmont, with wonderful serving from Taylor Chow and Reina Lowe and 5 kills from Maya Kiruluta, easily took the second game 25-11. The Longfellow gym was loud in the tiebreaking third game with Longfellow taking the lead until point 15 when Clare Keating, with an assist by Nicole Cosares, made the kill to tie the game. Keating aced the next serve to take the lead, and Reina Lowe then won the game with a tip at the net: 17-15.
