The games were close for periods of time early, but the reigning Region IX champs used strong serving and efficient hitting to handle the alumni. Still, the alumni held their own against the powerhouse Cougars. Take the first game when the alumni trailed 6-5. After that, strong serving by Stacie Meisner and Kendra Schauermann, and hitting from Jenny Eichler, Fatima Bauza, Shawntell Jones and Chelsea Lyles were too tough for the alumni.In the third game, the alumni were down big and then slowly started a comeback before losing 30-23. The alumni also battled hard in the final game forcing overtime before falling 18-16. In fact, they took their first lead of the night in the fifth game at 9-8. From there it was back and fourth. Both teams were tied at 15 and later 16 before WNCC finally won.
Playing for the alumni were several former stars including Jennifer Pedersen, Laura Pinedo, Leslie Reeh, Missy Marsh, Molly Tabke, Dayna Harned, Renee Ellis, BJ Clark, Jamie Meisner, Bethany Dillman and Brittany Isakson.
The Cougars will open the season for real this Friday and Saturday as they host the South Sub-Region tournament.
