Blair Oaks’ second-set run changed all the momentum. After falling behind, the Lady Falcons won three consecutive sets to take a 21-25, 25-17, 25-23, 25-16 highly ranked, non-conference win Tuesday against the Helias Lady Crusaders at Helias Gym. The Lady Falcons came into the match ranked No. 2 in Class 3, while the Lady Crusaders were No. 3 in Class 4 according to MaxPreps.
Tuesday night is what the Blair Oaks Lady Falcons envisioned when they added the Hermann Lady Bearcats to their schedule last season. The fact it was a matchup between two defending state champions was a huge bonus. “Having a matchup like this really shows us where we’re at,” Blair Oaks coach Megan Distler said after the Lady Falcons earned their first-ever win against the Lady Bearcats by a score of 25-16, 26-28, 25-14, 25-23.
