Rangers Fall in Final Match of Maverick Invite

Mankato, MN – In their final match of the Maverick Invite, the Parkside Rangers suffered a defeat to the Minnesota State Moorhead Dragons on Saturday. Despite a valiant effort from Sam Fisch, who notched a career-high in kills, the Rangers were defeated in four sets, finishing the weekend 1-3.

Inside the Box Score:

  • Sam Fisch registered a career-high 26 kills, hitting .340 in the match.
  • Elizabeth Truckenbrod tallied 17 kills, her most in a match since 10/13/23 against Ashland.
  • Karlee Lois recorded her fourth double-double of the season with 45 assists and 15 digs.

How It Happened: 
In the first set, the Rangers received a jolt of energy from Elizabeth Truckenbrod. Karlee Lois set the table for Truckenbrod, who converted three consecutive kills to give the Rangers an early lead. Truckenbrod finished the set with seven total kills, continuing to deliver timely strikes. As the set neared its conclusion, the Dragons led 20-16 and seemed in control. However, Sam Fisch began her big day late in the first set, delivering three crucial kills to help Parkside on a six-point run, pulling them ahead 22-20. Nonetheless, the Dragons persevered and took the set 25-23.

Led by a stellar performance from Sam Fisch, the Rangers dominated the Dragons in the second set. Fisch opened the set with three kills and wasn't finished there—she tallied ten in the set, proving nearly unstoppable. The set ended emphatically, with Marisa Lootens delivering a set-clinching service ace. The Rangers held the Dragons to just 13 points in the set.

Although it seemed Parkside had seized the momentum, the Dragons regained control with victories in the third and fourth sets. The Rangers continued to receive strong performances from Fisch and Truckenbrod, but it wasn't enough to stay in the game.

Next: 
The Rangers will host the Hampton Inn Invitational this upcoming Thursday through Saturday at De Simone Arena. They open the weekend with a match against Lake Erie at 6:00 PM Thursday night. The weekend continues with clashes against Ohio Dominican and Northern State on Friday, and concludes with a rematch against Upper Iowa on Saturday at 5:00 PM.
