The James Valley Christian Vikings visited Hitchcock on a hot night and downed the Patriots in three straight sets. Set scores were 21-25, 14-25, and 20-25.
In the first set, the Patriots led most of the set until the Vikings would go on a run towards the end of set one, ultimately taking the set.
In set two, the Patriots could not get anything going as JVC jumped out to a big lead and never looked back.
Set three, was a carbon copy of set two, but the Patriots would make a run at the end of the set, but it was a little late. Errors all night, kept costing the Patriots valuable points and runs.
Rebecca Huizenga and Isabel Gilbert would each lead the way with 6 kills each. Ella Johnson would chip in with 4 kills.
Presley Binger led the way in the setting department with 10 assists and Lila Johnson would add 8.
Ella Johnson would also add in 2 aces from the serve line.
Defensively, Cambree Hoekman led the way with 13 digs.
The Patriots (2-4) will be back in action on Tuesday night as they travel to Faulkton to take on the Trojans.
