Munroe (0-3), the Lady Cougars have roared back to win 3 out of the last 4 matches. The winning began when the ladies traveled to Panama City on Tuesday, Sept. 1st to take on the Lady Lions. After losing the first 2 sets, the Lady Cougars took the final 3 sets to win the match (17-25, 25-27, 25-16, 25-21, and 15-8). They returned home on Thursday to take on the Sherwood Lady Eagles and again found themselves down 0-2. But the Lady Cougars... refused to give up and they won the final 3 sets convincingly to win the match (22-25, 20-25, 25-14, 25-9, and 15-12). The ladies traveled to Tallahassee to take on the defending Eastern Conference Champions and dropped a hard fought match (20-25, 14-25, 16-25). The ladies concluded the week with a re-match with Ridgecrest winning 3-2 (25-18, 24-26, 27-29, 25-16, and 15-10). Coach Harrell stated how proud he was of the team, "the ladies really fought hard to win these matches. They never gave up and came from behind to win each of these matches."
