WATERLOO–The #9 ranked RedTail volleyball team took on #1 Tritons and the RedTails battled hard throughout the night, but fell short to the Tritons 1-3 (19-25, 25-18, 27-29, 27-29).

The RedTails started off slow in the first set, but fought hard back to win the second set. The third and fourth sets had spectators on the edge of their seats, as the games became closer and more intense. The team showed their determination and worked hard, despite falling short. Most importantly, they never gave up and believed in one another.
