FM traveled to Mascenic Thursday night for a preliminary round playoff game, and lost a well-played match 3-0. Scores were 25-16, 25-13, 25-12. “They just had a little more offensive power than we did tonight,” said FM head coach Michelle Swift. “I can’t say how proud I am of our kids. We forced them to do things they don’t usually do, we covered our hitters and blockers, and we really just left everything we had on the court.” Sarah Schadler led FM in serving, as she had 9 points, 3 kills and 1 block. Hannah McCormick had 4 assists and 2 kills. Makayla Barre had 4 kills and 3 digs. Elissa Brady had 3 kills and 3 blocks. “We worked really hard in practice all week to have better net presence and better coverage,” said Swift. “It really showed in how we played… the effort was tremendous.”
