The Red Oak Tigers swept past the Atlantic Trojans in a Class 3A Region 1 Volleyball Quarterfinal on Monday night at Red Oak High School. The Tigers jumped out to an early lead and used a big run at the end of the second set to grab the victory 25-10, 25-20, 25-10.

The Tigers jumped out quickly in the opening set and lead 12-1 early before racing away for the 25-10 win. The second set was a much different story. The teams traded points for a long stretch with Atlantic holding a slight advantage most of the way. Atlantic then used a 5 point run to lead 20-15. The Tigers then ripped off a 10 point run to snatch the set away from the Trojans 25-20 and seize all the momentum in the match. The Tigers scored the first 6 points of the third and rolled to the win. Atlantic Head Coach Michelle Blake said it was frustrating to let the Tigers grab that momentum back in the 2nd.

The Trojans had quite a few passes that ended up awkwardly close to the net and setting at the net was a bit off for most of the match. Coach Blake said the net play was tough to see given past results against the Tigers.

Atlantic ends the season with a record of 17-20. The 13th ranked Tigers improved to 28-9 on the season and will travel to face Sergeant Bluff-Luton on Wednesday night in the Regional Semifinals.
