All three teams went home with a loss. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ehsfalconnews.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/20220921_191925-648x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4740\" width=\"214\" height=\"338\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.ehsfalconnews.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/20220921_191925-648x1024.jpg 648w, http:\/\/www.ehsfalconnews.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/20220921_191925-190x300.jpg 190w, http:\/\/www.ehsfalconnews.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/20220921_191925-768x1214.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.ehsfalconnews.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/20220921_191925-972x1536.jpg 972w, http:\/\/www.ehsfalconnews.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/20220921_191925-1296x2048.jpg 1296w, http:\/\/www.ehsfalconnews.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/20220921_191925-570x901.jpg 570w, http:\/\/www.ehsfalconnews.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/20220921_191925.jpg 1505w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 214px) 100vw, 214px\" \/><figcaption>Gracie Storey (#9) serves the ball to the Eagles.

Throughout the three set battle, the girls had consistent serves, strong passes, and aggressive attacks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first varsity set ended 18-25. The second set ended 17-25 and the third ended 14-25. All three going to the Eagles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The leaders for the night were seniors Gracie Storey (#9) and Rachel Mathews (#13), both middle blockers, ended the night with two blocks each. Sophomore outside hitter Jayden Breaux (#14) led the team in kills with six. Breaux and junior Lillian Ossowski (#1), a setter, both led the Falcons in aces with two each. Senior libero Ashlyn Turnbo (#3) and sophomore setter Josey Robbins led the team in dogs with twelve each. Ossowski also led the falcons in assists with nine.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I think we played really well. We kept fighting till the last point, which I was proud of. But Harrisburg was able to take advantage of our weaknesses, which is unfortunate, it was definitely a learning opportunity. Overall I\u2019m really proud of them and excited for the future,&#8221; head coach Tessa Slager said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The next home game for the Elmira volleyball team is Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. in the main gym. The Falcons will be facing off against the Creswell Bulldogs.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"835\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ehsfalconnews.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/20220921_191635-835x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4738\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.ehsfalconnews.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/20220921_191635-835x1024.jpg 835w, http:\/\/www.ehsfalconnews.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/20220921_191635-245x300.jpg 245w, http:\/\/www.ehsfalconnews.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/20220921_191635-768x941.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.ehsfalconnews.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/20220921_191635-1253x1536.jpg 1253w, http:\/\/www.ehsfalconnews.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/20220921_191635-570x699.jpg 570w, http:\/\/www.ehsfalconnews.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/20220921_191635.jpg 1497w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 835px) 100vw, 835px\" \/><figcaption>Josey Robbins (#15) is ready to pass the ball to set up a play with backup from Ashlyn Turnbo (#3) and Jayden Breaux (#14).
