Essex
The Lady Devils’ woes continued on the road on Monday. In spite of strong play, Mathews fell in the first set, 25-20.
Throughout the second set, the Blue Devils fought hard to keep pace with the balls coming back quickly, but they lost, 25-15. During the last set the balls continued to fly but the Devils lost the third set, 25-22 and the match.
On Tuesday, Mathews will look to get back into the win column on the road against King and Queen.
