The Lady Lobos started off strong winning the first two sets, but lost their rhythm and dropped the third set to the Mustangs. The electrifying fourth and final set (27-25) brought the Lehman crowd to its feet as the Lobos edged out the Mustangs for their fourth victory of the season.

Legh-Page said that the team’s good communication was a key factor in securing the win. When the Lady Lobos faced adversity in the third set, Legh-Page preached fundamentals and making minor adjustments to her team.
“Making sure that we were going all out and making sure we were preparing ourself on our defensive attack as well,” Legh-Page said about the team’s adjustments after the third set.
