Ogilvie

The Tigers lost to Oglive 3-0 on Sept. 27.

Despite the loss, Telander said the team played hard all three games.

Steph Shively had five kills and Tomi Schellbach had two kills, five digs in the loss.

"Ogilvie is a scrappy team, they don't let much fall to the floor. We just need to make fewer mistakes on our side of the net," Telander said.
