ALVERTON 无毛视频� Southmoreland lost the third set and visiting Seton-La Salle kept gaining the edge in the seesaw fourth set.

But, the Lady Scots didn无毛视频檛 panic and gained control of the fourth set for a 3-1 victory Wednesday night in the opening round of the WPIAL Class AAA volleyball playoffs.

Southmoreland was poised for a sweep after winning the first two sets, but the Rebels stayed alive with a 25-16 win in the third set. Seton-La Salle led 18-11 and held the advantage throughout the set.

无毛视频淚 think the other team picked it up with their serving intensity. Our girls, we have moments. We like to have that comeback kids story, whether we无毛视频檙e ahead or behind,无毛视频� explained Southmoreland first-year coach Michelle Pergar. 无毛视频淲e have a quiet demeanor, sometimes. We need to make sure we无毛视频檙e intense in a positive way.无毛视频�

Southmoreland rallied from an 18-16 deficit for a 25-19 win in the fourth set.

Pergar noted the camaraderie her squad has that helps them get through rocky periods.

无毛视频淭hese girls, they无毛视频檙e very close. They无毛视频檙e best friends, on and off the court, so I think that helps, and they play multiple sports together,无毛视频� said Pergar. 无毛视频淭hat无毛视频檚 what I feel is different.

无毛视频淭hey just sometimes need a little moment, a timeout here or there. That无毛视频檚 why I took that early timeout. Sometimes they just need a little pep talk. I think sometimes they just need to laugh.无毛视频�

Southmoreland won the first two sets, but had to work to do so after trailing in both.

The Lady Scots eked out a 25-23 win in the opening set. With Riley Puckey serving, Southmoreland rallied into the lead and Taylor Doppleheuer finished things off for a 25-17 win.

Zoey Willing finished with 11 assists, nine kills and two digs. Doppelheuer was tough at the net with 14 kills, as well as the service line with five aces. Riley Puckey contributed 13 assists, three kills and two blocks. Makayla Etling added eight kills and three digs.

Southmoreland (15-3) plays South Park in the quarterfinals on Saturday.

无毛视频淲e无毛视频檝e played South Park before. We will watch some film and see if they do anything different. They无毛视频檙e a tough team,无毛视频� said Pergar. 无毛视频淚无毛视频檓 excited (to win her first playoff game). These girls work hard.

无毛视频淚t无毛视频檚 nice to see them grow and nice to see them through their season.无毛视频�
