The team carried their confidence from the second set into the third, finishing with a score of 25-13.
Before the game, the players felt a variety of emotions, knowing one team would have to walk away no longer undefeated.
“I [felt] calm but also excited,” senior Emily Hellmuth said.
She credited her fellow teammates with helping her keep a positive mindset.
“Kendyl Reaugh gives me tips, and Kennedy Westendorff helps me smile, stay positive and have fun because she always has a good attitude,” Hellmuth said.
While the players defended their winning streak on the court, the enthusiastic fans crammed the stands. The Lady Scots basketball team, freshman and JV girls volleyball and girls soccer came to support their fellow athletes.
“I liked having a big crowd watch me because it made me excited to play,” freshman Gracie Braner said.
