In a tight match-up the Bears fell to Alpharetta in the opening set, 20-25. "It was a rough start, we were a little shaky and nervous in the first set." Senior captain Alex Wright mentioned when asked about their match, "It's frustrating when we play scared because we are a lot better than that. We picked it up in the next two sets and I'm really proud of how we played together and pulled through with a win."

Following the loss in the first set, the team recovered to come back and win the second game 25-21 and the third 25-20. Coach Johnson said she was impressed with how well her players rallied together and stayed positive to get the win they needed. 

In the second match of the night for the Bears, Cambridge dominated from start to finish beating West Forsyth in straight sets. They won the first set 25-12 and the second 25-22.
