Facing Windsor for the third time this season, the Comets fell prey to that old adage in sports, that is is hard to beat a team three times in a season. It proved true. Windsor cam back from a miserable game 1 to win in the longest OT game of the season in the area, 13-25, 25-19, 34-32
“It was a tough loss,” said Comet coach Ronda Schlechte. “We came out strongt in game 1. Game 2 we struggled with passing. Game was an intense game going back and forth. Too many errors to get us the win. The girls fought hard to stay with them.”
