A tie at the top of the district has left San Marcos a must-win matchup for Austin High and Lake Travis.
The Lady Cavaliers defeated the Lady Maroons at the start of the second district cycle, leaving both teams with one loss in league play. A loss to any other team before the end of the regular season could mean surrending the district title and a No. 1 seed in the playoffs.
It meant that Austin wasn’t leaving anything to chance when it faced off with the Lady Rattlers inside the Snake Pit on Friday. San Marcos took the Lady Maroons to five sets in the teams’ first meeting on Sept. 21, but suffered a 3-0 (18-25, 18-25, 21-25) sweep this time around.
