In a night dedicated to breast cancer awareness, the gym was glowing pink Tuesday as Southern Door and Algoma both took the court in special uniforms. The Eagles wore pink-and-white ombre and the Wolves in hot pink. A battle of their own ensued on the court, but Southern Door came out victorious in a three-set sweep.
The first set was tight early, as the teams traded points to a 10-10 tie before Southern Door began to find its rhythm. A mid-set run put the Eagles up 16-10, and they rode that momentum to a 25-10 opening-set victory.
Set two followed a similar pattern. After another 3-3 tie, Southern Door built an 8-3 advantage and later stretched it to 19-11 behind strong serving and solid defense. Algoma kept fighting, but the Eagles held on for a 25-18 win to take a 2-0 match lead.
In the third, Algoma made things interesting after Southern Door jumped out to a 21-13 lead. The Wolves battled back, forcing a late timeout from Southern Door at 24-20, but the Eagles closed it out 25-22 to complete the sweep.
Southern Door improves to 14-10 on the season and 3-3 in the Packerland conference and will play at Sturgeon Bay October 9th. Meanwhile, Algoma drops to 4-17 and 1-4 in conference matches, but returns home to face Sevastopol Thursday.
