Brooks Helps Grizzlies Bounce Back To Win

What Happened: The Georgian Grizzlies Women's Volleyball team rallied a victory over the Loyalist Lancers on Saturday in a match that took all five sets to determine a winner. A tight match for Georgian in the first two sets as Loyalist stayed on the coatails of the Grizzlies, going point for point until a Georgian streak gave them the victory in both sets, 25-22 and 25-23 respectively.

Determined not to go out in three, Loyalist bounced back aggressively in the third set to keep the match alive, taking it from Georgian with an impressive ten point differential, 25-15. The Grizzlies buckled down in the fourth set but it wasn't enough to hold off the attacking Lancers who couldn't afford to drop the fourth set. Georgian fell 25-20 in set four as Loyalist forces a final frame to determine the victor. In a final tight set, momentum bounced back and fourth as points tallied until Georgian was able to pull away, taking the fifth and final set 15-12 to take the match 3-2.

Carina Brooks on Georgian's side delivered 13 kills to the Lancers, while Alyssa Diemert on the Lancer's side also put 13 kills over on the Grizzlies side.
