Trenton’s early season home struggles continued on Tuesday night, as the Lady Bulldogs were unable to take the momentum earned from a Monday night win at Hamilton into their match against Plattsburg, as the visiting Lady Tigers took a straight set win over THS, 25-12, 25-16.
Trenton’s points from the net finished on the low end, as Karli Provorse, Brittany Wilson, Shawna Coplen, Teresa Burkholder, and Saedee Jackson combined for just 7 kills. Coplen had 3 assists, Allena Allen 3 digs, Grace Holcomb 2 assists, Provorse 4 digs, and Melea Farmer 3 digs for Trenton.
Plattsburg, with the win, was able to hop back into the win column after a disheartening three-set loss (21-25, 27-25, 22-25) to West Platte on Monday night in KCI Conference play.
