Kenosha, Wis. - On senior day, the Parkside Rangers were taken down by the Davenport Panthers. The Rangers had a solid offensive night, swinging .190 collectively, but Davenport was led by Abby Alan who registered 16 kills in the three set victory.

In the first set, the Rangers and Panthers went back and forth in the early stages. Kendal Zeiter got the Rangers rolling early, executing a pair of kills to start the night. Both teams swung effectively as the set progressed, with the score tied at 15. Out of the first media timeout, Davenport put together a six-point run that sparked their momentum. Despite late kills from Sam Fisch and Elizabeth Truckenbrod, Davenport claimed the first set 25-20, setting the tone for the match.

In the second set, the Rangers swung at exactly .300 but were unable to pull out a victory. Sam Fisch was in rhythm, notching six kills in the set and delivering timely plays throughout. The set was tightly contested, with neither team leading by more than two points at any time. With the Rangers trailing 24-23, Sierra Kilbourn came through with a clutch kill to even the score. However, Davenport continued to make key plays, securing the final two points to take a 2-0 lead.
