The Pender Pendragons saw their year come to an end Monday night as the Pendragons lost 3-0 to Clarkson/Leigh in the D1-4 Sub-District Tournament at Wisner-Pilger.
Pender lost sets one and two 25-23, and dropped set three 27-25.
The Pendragons dropped 10 out of their final 11 matches.
Pender ends the year at 10-20.
A 10-20 finish is not the type of ending the Pendragons were envisioning I'm sure.
Pender didn't beat anyone with a winning record this year.
Only 5 of the Pendragons' 20 losses came to teams with losing records, but three of them came during Pender's last 11 matches.
The Pendragons lose five seniors in Cecilee Jacobsen, Haylie Roberts, Hallie Ballinger, Kamryn Anderson, and Emily Ellis.
Each senior meant so much to this program, and should be proud of their careers.
Rylee Lehmkuhl and Tymaree Krusemark are key returners for Pender.
The Pendragons have to be fueled and motivated by what happened at the end of the season.
Pender has to be upset by how they ended the season. I thought the end to the season definitely could have been better for the Pendragons.
If anything though, it leaves more to be accomplished next season.
I think Pender is capable of having a better season next year, but it's going to take a lot of hard offseason work.
These girls have to be dedicated to improving in the offseason. Getting up early in the morning during the summer for workouts, camps, and open gyms is going to be crucial to next year's success, in my opinion.
The Pendragons have a lot of work to do from now until August so the kids have to get after it as soon as possible.
Volleyball has to matter and be important to these girls. It has to be a priority in their lives if they want to be successful at it.
