25-19, 25-22, 24-26, 26-28, 15-4
The Crusaders battled while working on a new rotation due to an injury but ran out of gas in the 5th set after winning two long games in sets three and four. Coon Rapids Bayard dropped the first two sets, playing well enough to push the Spartans to the edge in set two. That momentum helped propel them into the third set, which they won 26-24. They continued to work hard in the fourth set and edged the Spartans 28-26. The hard work to come back from down two sets to tie the match might have drained their energy level as the Spartans dominated set five.

Gracy Johnson had to work as the lone setter most of the night and finished with 20 assists. Brynn Bass had a team high 12 digs, Lacie Davis had 11 digs. Mallory Leighty was strong defensively at the net and had a team high 4 blocks.
The loss drops Coon Rapids Bayard to 6-13 overall and 1-5 in the Rolling Valley Conference. They host Ar-We-Va on KKRL on Tuesday.
