The Panthers traveled to Northwest Thursday to face their cross town rivals. The first set proved to be difficult for western, they lacked communication and struggled to incorporate aggressive plays allowing the Mounties to take the set 15-25. The Panthers were determined to come out on top the second set, they fought point for point for quite some time before a 6 point serving streak from Lia Anderson taking the set 25-19. The Panthers came into the third set with high energy and were able to get in some aggressive plays from the front row that northwest wasn’t able to contend with. This allowed the panthers to take the final set 15-4 and giving them the overall win. The western 8B team still remains undefeated with an overall record of 12-0 and a conference record of 7-0.
