The Lady Cats closed out their fall 2021 season with a huge come-from-behind five set victory in Longview versus the Lady Lobos.
Sulphur Springs lost set one after trailing at several points but ended within striking distance at 25-22.
The Lady Cats, at risk of losing their third straight game if they did not strike back did just that, winning set two 25-19 after leading by as much as seven earlier in the set.
Coach Bailey Dorner’s team followed up a 1-1 tie after set two with a late scoring run to win set three 25-18.
Longview, fighting up until the final whistle, took set four 25-20 to force a winner-take-all set five.
The final set at Lobo Coliseum was never in question as Sulphur Springs cruised to an emphatic 15-7 set five win.
The five-match win is the second on the season for the Lady Cats volleyball team. The first occurred on Oct. 1, also against Longview.
