\u201cI\u2019ve said it multiple times, but I am so proud of these girls and their work ethic,\u201d North Laurel coach Angela Singleton said. \u201cI told them tonight the grit that they showed for their teammates and themselves was amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With the match on the line, North Laurel elevated its play during the fourth and fifth sets to finish off the victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe way they were able to work together when one was down or one made a mistake was the best part about tonight,\u201d Singleton said. \u201cThey showed up for one another, fought for one another, and gave it their all in the fourth and fifth sets.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
