“Pretty disappointed I think, not in ourselves, but in the result. It’s a hard pill to swallow, but we’ll be alright,” said Cooper. Hopefully we’re on the other side of that more often than not, but tonight we weren’t. We were really well prepared for this, and the fact that the games were that close, it’s exactly where we want to be.

The two were bright spots for the team in what ended up being a rather underwhelming outcome. The two combined for 21 kills, while Cooper took player of the game honors. Both Pavelic and Kraj had some clutch, well timed plays in the first and second set that really led to the Marauders success.Ĭooper, who put on a show in the first couple sets, continued to sustain a high level of play throughout the match, alongside Mateusz Wlodarski, the other consistent option through the night. Cooper finished the game as the leader in both kills and aces, while Pavelic finished third in kills and first in blocks, and Kraj finished second in aces and blocks. The Marauders excelled early with Sam Cooper, Tyler Pavelic and Wojciech Kraj really leading the way. In the entirety of the first set, the largest lead either team had was only by two points, which would quickly become a commonality over the four sets. In front of a sold-out crowd, the Marauders played exceptionally well despite the outcome. 🏐 VBM: Marque finale : bat 3-1! /BymBOO78vc- U SPORTS Volleyball March 19, 2023 🏐 MVB: Semifinal 1!
