GFA pulled the game to within 3, 18-21, before King served out the victory 18-25. GFA was led in serving by Ritozeh Saingbe and Asya Evans.

After losing to The Wooster School earlier in the season at home, the Dragons were ready for a rematch when they traveled to Wooster on Wednesday afternoon.
GFA started the match on fire behind the strong serving of Alex Krebs and Hayes Marcus. Everything was clicking and the Dragons were able to take game 1, 25-17. In the second game, it was Wooster that came out strong and built a lead that was too much for GFA to overcome as Wooster took game 2, 17-25.
In the tie breaker, both teams fought back and forth throughout, but it was the diving plays made by Asya Evans and the great overall play by Steph McCarthy that proved to be too much for the Wooster School, as GFA drove home with the victory, 25-20.
GFA is back in action Friday night against King. |
