PRESCOTT - Ellsworth's chances for a Middle Border Conference title in volleyball were badly damaged in a 3-1 loss to Highway 10 rival Prescott Tuesday.
Prescott easily took the first two games 25-13, 25-19. Ellsworth came back to win Game 3 25-14 and led for much of Game 4. But before the Panthers could force a Game 5, the Cardinals rallied behind the serving Paige Durhman and the hitting of Kayla Lytle and Anna Wieser and Kate Kroska. They engineered a 17-6 run as the Cards' trailed 15-8 at one point in Game 4. Katy Syverson scored a pair of back-to-back aces to help secure the contest.
"We know how to come from behind now," PHS head coach Patti Tulip said. "We had to do so to beat Spring Valley and win the Amery Invitational and we did it tonight."
The win is PHS's second in a row in league play and coupled with their weekend success at Amery, put their overall record at an even .500, 23-23 and 3-3 in the MBC. Ellsworth falls back to 4-2 in the league and 15-12. overall.
