The Lady Pirates were back in the gym to take on Monticello Tuesday night. Green River did not get off to a great start as the Lady Buckaroos dominated the first set 25-12.
In the second set, the Pirates regrouped and had a better showing. Tied at 24, the teams traded points, each looking for that magical two-point advantage that would win the set. Monticello came through 28-26 to go up 2-0.
Green River battled even harder in complete desperation mode, but couldn’t find separation. The Pirates stayed with Monticello through over 60 combined points, but ultimately fell 31-29.
Green River (5-6, 2-1) will be off until Tuesday, Sept. 14 when the Pirates travel to Bryce Valley (2-8).
