“There’s nothing to be ashamed of in this. I’m proud that we’re playing as well as we are against these great teams,” said coach Joe Reiken,
The Cardinals had a stiff test against Division II-A’s No. 7 team, La Reina, on Tuesday and hung in there before succumbing 25-13, 26-24, 25-19.
Freshman Diana Sleep had 11 kills in the match while classmate Nicole Tetherow dished out 26 assists and put away four kills of her own.
It doesn’t get any easier for the Cardinals (1-7, 0-7 TVL), who face No. 6 Oaks Christian next.
