 Adrenaline is pumping. The other team divided by a net is catching their breath. While on the opposing side a player is preparing to serve. Ally Wardlow glances to her left and gives a smile of encouragement to her teammates.

The other team manages to get the ball on their side and Wardlow dives to the floor at an angle the setter can reach. The outside is prepared to hit the ball as the setter sets. A spike is made and it’s silent until the blow of a whistle signals the end of the game. They’ve won.
