The Cougars traveled to Region 19 on Saturday for a tri-match at Harrisburg Area CC. While Frederick found themselves victorious 3-2 against the Lackawanna College Falcons in the opener, they suffered a 3-1 defeat in their second match of the day against the Harrisburg Area Hawks.
Match One - Frederick 3, Lackawanna 2
The Cougars team dropped the first set and fell behind 2-1 early and faced defeat going into the fourth set but battled and fought back to win the fourth set 25-21 to force a decisive fifth set. The Cougars took that momentum and came out the gate to take a 9-1 lead and never looked back to win their third match of the season: 21-25, 25-19, 23-25, 25-21, 15-5.
Match Two - Frederick 1, Harrisburg Area 3
The Cougars lost the first set to the host school by six points but were able to level out the match by winning the second set 25-20. A tight back-and-forth third set, where no one was able to take a commanding lead, went in favor of Harrisburg Area, and the Cougars' tired legs caught up with them as they dropped the fourth set 25-18.
