Although Tuesday nights face-off against the Charleston Lady Tigers didn’t have quite the outcome that the Mansfield Sr High Lady Tigers were hoping for, the night wasn’t an entire bust. The girls took great pride in celebrating Senior Night for nine of their teammates. Mansfield put Charleston through the wringer for five fast-paced and intense sets. By the end of it all, Charleston took the win 3-2.
The Lady Tigers earned a total of 93 points for the night and now sit with a 6-7 conference record.
