Outside hitter Ali Cookewore a look of disbelief when the finalpoint was called out of boundsin favor of the Titans. Cooke andmiddle hitter Kristen Livingstonplayed well in defeat, however, with16 and 18 kills, respectively. Bothalso added team highs with 13 digsapiece, but it was still not enough totake home a victory.“We beat ourselves tonight,” saidNorth Meck Coach Sandi Skidmore.“They have some hard hitters, butwe didn’t pass the ball well. Andwhen you put your hitters in difficultsituations, they are going tohave trouble converting. We hadthree points late in the fifth set thatwere hit out of bounds.”Tuesday night’s five-set classic leftboth teams wanting more.
