Pender loses last three regular season matches

The Pender Volleyball Team dropped their final three regular season matches, losing 3-0 at Clarkson/Leigh Monday night, and 2-0 to Howells-Dodge and West Point-Beemer at their home Triangular Tuesday night.

The Pendragons lost set one to the Patriots, 25-14, set two 25-20, and set three 25-14.

Pender lost the 1st set 25-17 and the 2nd set 25-18 to the Jaguars.

The Cadets took set one 25-13, and set two 25-10.

I thought the Pendragons did a good job of competing against the Patriots and Jaguars for the most part.

Pender (5-24) takes on Clarkson/Leigh (22-9) in the opening round of Sub-Districts at Oakland-Craig Monday evening.

The Patriots have been good and solid the whole year, and figure to be tough for anyone in this Sub-District to beat.

The Pendragons definitely have an uphill battle in this match, but are certainly capable of pulling the upset.

A lot of people probably figure Clarkson/Leigh and GACC will meet in the Sub-District Final, but perhaps Pender will spoil the party.

Anything can happen this time of year, and the Pendragons have to play optimistic and be confident and believe in themselves.

Pender has to build off the close set they had against the Patriots the first time around, and turn in their best performance of the year.

The Pendragons have to play inspired and out of their minds to come out on top.

Pender has to go all out and play as well as they possibly can to pull off the upset.

The Pendragons have to go out there and play loose and with reckless abandon.

Pender has to give it their all, and fight hard until the very end and be scrappy.

The Pendragons have to feel like they can do anything they put their mind to, and go out there and shock the state.

Pender has to play out of their minds, and with no fear and regard for human life. If they do that then they may have a shot at the upset.

The Pendragons have to be inspired given the fact the Football team upset GACC in the playoffs.

Anything can happen, and Pender has to feel like they can win.

First serve is set for 5:00 p.m.
