The Freshmen A team won in three sets with scores of 25-20, 21-25, and 25-18.  Standouts for the Freshmen were Darby Woodrum (offense) and Kenleigh Aguirre (defense).  The Freshmen B team traveled to John Tyler and played extremely hard but lost in three sets.  The JV team lost in two tough sets to Royse City with scores of 16-25 and 26-28.

The Varsity Lady Eagles won in three quick sets with scores of 25-21, 25-21, and 25-16.  Leading Lindale at the net were Shelbi Steen (10 kills, 2 blocks, 6 digs) and Brina Kuslak (8 kills).  London Reue and Hannah Knox each chipped in 7 kills a piece, and middle blocker Skylar Wyllie led in blocking with 4 blocks. Setters Harleigh Thurman and Kalaya Pierce moved the ball around consistently; Thurman had 17 assists and Pierce followed with 15. Libero Jennifer Moyer led the defensive effort with 22 digs in the three set match.
