Menominee Defeats
Gladstone in Four Sets

Aside from a bit of lost concentration in set two, Menominee was the better team in a four-set win over Gladstone on Tuesday.
The Maroons won the first set 25-19, but Menominee coach Sarah Betzinger said she thought her team came out with “big heads” in the second set, eventually losing 25-13.
“They got too big of a lead on us and we couldn’t make it up, as hard as they tried, because they started stringing it together and playing better,” Betzinger said. “We tend to play at the level of the team instead of the level we are capable of. They know it, they have addressed it, and they’re aware of it.”
The Maroons got back to their level in sets three and four, with a 25-18 win in the final set.
“Our hitting is finally starting to come around,” Betzinger said. “We had a couple go deep, but we also had a lot drop in. They’re getting smarter that way too.”
Betzinger gave credit to Faith Herbert for her serving at the beginning of the match and to Piper Monroe and Hanna Drifka for their work at the net.
