The Everett girls cruised in the first game, 25-15. “We were then cruising in the second game, and were serving for the win, leading 24-19, but Malden’s server got on a roll and stole the set, 26-24,” said Fineran. “If we had taken that set, things might have gone quite differently. We managed to string together some good plays after that, but not enough to really challenge them again.” Miranda was nearly perfect in serves, coming up with 17 out of 18 attempts. Emily Nogueira came up with 14 out of 16 good serves, while collecting five aces. Brandao was nine for 11 in serves, and also had two aces; six kills and one block.
