The M ustangs next played the Union Bobcats and Enterprise Outlaws in Union on Saturday. It was a hard-fought match with the Bobcats that went all five sets. The Mustangs prevailed and got the win by scores of 25-21, 25-22, 16-25, 17-25, 15-8. It was a closely-contested match throughout.

In the long run, the overall good play of the entire Mustang team proved to be too much for the Bobcats. A fter the long and draining match with Union, the team next played the Enterprise Outlaws. In a match that went four sets, the Mustangs lost to the Outlaws 23-25, 19-25, 25- 21, 24-26.
