Great, gutsy win for GACC Tuesday night, especially after losing a tough one on Thursday. The Bluejays turned the tables on Neumann so to speak.

GACC (8-6) plays host to Hartington Cedar Catholic (11-10) Thursday night.

The Trojans defeated Battle Creek 3-1 at home Tuesday night.

Cedar Catholic is a better team than their record would indicate.

I look for this match to go at least 4 sets if not 5.

I definitely feel like the Bluejays can win, but it will be interesting to see how GACC responds coming off an emotional win over Neumann Tuesday night.

The Bluejays have to come prepared and ready to play come Thursday night.

GACC can't afford to be complacent and satisfied when they take the floor against Cedar Catholic Thursday night.

The Bluejays have to be hungry and motivated, and have to want more.

GACC has to go out there and light things up from start to finish, and play a great match.

It will be interesting to see what happens come Thursday night.

I feel either team has a good shot of winning this match in 4 sets so we will see what happens.
