The lone team did not go down without a fight, playing the number-two team from the Old Oregon league close in the first game and forcing extra points in the second. In the end, though, too many mistakes and a men tal breakdown in the third game ended any hopes of a return trip to the state championship. ■ '■ T iT lone finished the season with a 12-13 record and marked the fourth year in a row advancing to post season play. Imbler was a strong team hitting from the out side but the Lady Cardinals were “doing a really good job picking up their hits,” said Coach Dawn Eynet- ich.

We just really struggled.” Em ily H olland and Shadow K endrick both had four kills, while Lacey Thompson and Jessy Flynn each had three. Jackie Juar ez was perfect at the service line with 10-10 before leav ing the game with an injury. Emily Holland was also 100 percent from the line, serving 8-8. Even though the Lady Cardinals won’t be return ing to state, they did over come a lot of obstacles and exceed pre-season expecta tions. “They should be proud of themselves,” said Eynet ich. “They went a lot farther than people expected.” Eynetich noted that injury and illness played a big role in this season’s campaign. “It was one after an other, which meant we were constantly changing the rotation. “ With a young team without a lot o f varsity experience, that was even tougher to handle,” she said.
