Emporia High’s volleyball team finished in seventh place with a 2-3 record at Saturday’s Ottawa Invitational.
Two highlights for the Spartans in Saturday’s action were their final match of bracket play — even though the result was a loss — and their last match of the day. Emporia matched up against Lansing in its last bracket play match and pushed the Lions, who entered the tournament with a 16-1 mark, to three sets. The Spartans lost the first set 12-25, then took the second set 25-23 and gave the Lions all they could handle in Set 3 before losing 22-25.
