“It was a hard fought three-set match,” said Albert Lea assistant coach Matt Levorson. “Taylor lost the first set, but came back to win the second and third sets.”

Levorson led the Tigers because head coach Tom Dyrdal was attending the wedding of his son, Andrew.

Next, Albert Lea will play its second home match of the season at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday against Rochester John Marshall.
