Providence girls volleyball bounced back from a first-set loss and came back to defeat Midland in four sets on Saturday, 23-25, 25-21, 25-10, 25-18.
After falling in set one, the Patriots found themselves down seven points midway through set two. However, they settled in from there and rode the momentum to the win.
Lexi Underwood led the way from the service line with nine aces. Underwood was forced into the setter position with the starter sidelined.
“Coach Slover and I were both really proud of how our team stepped up with our starting setter out for the day,” Providence assistant coach and athletic director Dan Terry said. “We were really blessed to have Lexi in a position to fill in.
“She set some last year and, as a senior, was able to handle the situation with focus and maturity.”
Also on the offensive side, Olivia Leflang and Daniella Terry each turned in seven kills. Terry also had three aces.
“The whole team was able to rally and played some really great volleyball tonight,” Terry said.
