Sisters vs Yamhill-Carlton: Game 1- Sisters wins 25-16, Game 2- Sisters, 25-18, Game 3 Sisters, 25-14. Sisters had too many guns for this young YC team.  The Tigers did a good job digging some of Sisters monster hits but poor serving haunted YC throughout the match.  Sisters' relentless hitting squad of Pledger, Schaab, Kotal & Satko were just too much for YC's defense to handle.  Yamhill hitters Anderson, Uhlich and Lee had some great moments today, giving their loud, exuberant student section reasons to show their spirit.   Sisters will advance to evening play where they'll meet the 4th ranked, Henley Hornets at 8:30. YC will meet Douglas at 10:00 am tomorrow as they begin their pursuit of the Consolation Trophey (4th Place).  Follow link for updates on Douglas/Henley match, Hidden Valley/Central & LaSalle/Marist matches.
