San Marcos pulled out a 3-1 (25-19, 25-18, 17-25, 25-21) four-set victory over 2A powerhouse Johnson City in their final non-district match.
The Lady Rattlers held control of the match keeping a steady lead throughout the first two sets, but an onslaught from the Lady Eagles coupled with errors from the purple and white throughout the third set pushed the match to four sets. San Marcos was able to finally close the door on Johnson City in set four, putting the Lady Eagles away 25-21.
“I think they did a good job fighting back. I think Johnson City was a very talented, very scrappy team that was taking care of the ball and I think it was a good lesson for what’s in our district,” head coach Megann Ollett said. “We cannot let down, you cannot assume just because you put two away that the match is won (and) that someone’s gonna cow down because I think our district that we’re going into is very scrappy in the same way. So we’ve got to be out there ready to go and be ready to play for all three sets and make sure our energy is consistent and what we’re doing is consistent.”
