LumberJill Coach, Kim Falkenhagen said. 'We had a much better showing and fight from the ladies in this game.  Rhodes is a tall and talented team and we put up a good fight.'
 
In the fourth and final game in California the LumberJills took on a tough Redlands team, but were able to steal a game from them.  The scores of the match were 13-25, 25-18, 13-25 and 14-25.  Bethany Best again led the Jills with nine kills while Camille Eastburn had seven.  Julia Jehn and Caitlyn Severson did well defensively with eleven digs each. Kendall Kowalczweski also had a good job stepping up in the middle position. 
 
Falkenhagen was happy with the team's play against Redlands, 'We had a great showing and took a set from Redlands but in the end even with stellar defense Redlands was able to take the match.  This was a great tournament to get the season started and we saw some great competition.  Looking forward to our home tournament this upcoming weekend.'
 
The LumberJills will host a tournament this weekend at home with games on Friday and Saturday September 10^th and 11^th.
