Despite taking the first set, San Marcos was unable to overcome Clemens, as the Rattlers fell to the Buffaloes 3-1 (23-25, 25-17, 25-17, 25-11).
“I thought we came out strong,” Coach Ollet said. “I think this highlighted some of the things that we mentally needed to overcome. Those are going to filter through the rest of their lives. Staying calm, not getting frustrated, doing all of those things. It’s more than just a game on some of the mental pieces we need to work on. Overall, I was impressed with some of the plays or calling stuff out and the adjustments they made quickly. It’s a step in the right direction for us.”
The first set was a fierce back and forth effort, as both teams found themselves tied at 8-8.
