The Tigers lost the first game by four points but came back to win the next three. Game scores were 21-25, 25-16, 25-23 and 25-16.

“Once we get going and start playing our game, it’s a lot of fun,” Albert Lea head coach Lisa Deyak said.

Annie Ladwig led the Tigers with 18 kills and 23 digs. She also had three blocks and two ace serves.

“Annie had a great night,” Deyak said. “She’s been great all year.”
