The Tigers continued their early season travels with a split of road matches last week. Tuesday, Aug. 31, coach Mike Woody's squad survived the long bus ride to Austin and came home with a 3-1 win. Two nights later, things didn't go as smoothly in a 3-0 loss at ninth-ranked Lakeville South.
In Austin the visitors rallied for a 25-21 win in the first game only to lose game two 25-14. The Tigers won the final two contests 25-19 and 25-18.

Jordan Bridges was also a major contributor with six blocks and six kills. Haylee Lundquist and Mia Johnston led in set assists with 12 and eight respectively. Brook King chimed in with eight digs.
