San Marcos had to learn some tough lessons Friday evening.
The Lady Rattlers fell 3-1 (22-25,17-25, 25-22, 23-25) to the Lady Hawks in their unusual third meeting of the season. The purple and white had only given up one out of six total sets in the previous two matches this season, but a very different story played out in Oran Bales gym.
“I think in any sport it's hard to beat a team one time, twice is hard, but three times is, like, really tough,” head coach Jared Te’o said following the loss. “Especially when it’s your in-district, in-county rival. So that's kind of hard. But I think just in general, you've got to stay hungry every single time. You have to know that people are gonna make adjustments on you, and what adjustments you can make in those situations. So it's always tough, but at the end of the day it's volleyball, and you've got to perform.”
