Rattlers shock undefeated Clippers, erase two set deficit
MEDICINE HAT, AB – A stunner at the ‘Snake Pit’ on Friday for the Medicine Hat College Rattlers women’s volleyball team, knocking off one of Alberta’s top clubs at home.
Trailing by two sets to the undefeated Briercrest Clippers, the Rattlers dug deep to take three straight sets and shock Briercrest in a five-set marathon (19-25, 18-25, 25-19, 25-23, 15-13).
Medicine Hat was handed a blow midway through the opening set, with setter Jennifer Saj hitting the floor awkwardly and going off with a leg injury.
That didn’t slow down the Rattlers though with both sides tied 15-15, however the Clippers were able to go on a late run to take the opening set 25-19.
