TCNE’s confidence carried seamlessly into the nightcap against Bancroft-Rosalie. Though the host Panthers put up a fight, the Wolfpack held strong in key moments to take another straight-set victory, 26-24 and 25-23. The offensive balance was on full display—Mackling once again led the charge with 12 kills, while fellow outside hitter Kiya Tornez added 9 of her own to keep the Panthers’ defense on its heels.
The Wolfpack’s serving game remained sharp, totaling 6 aces, led by middle hitter Briley Anderson with two. Jayda Stallbaum provided a spark at the net with the team’s lone block of the match. Mackling repeated her defensive dominance, recording 13 digs and 23 serve-receive passes, while Belt matched her earlier performance with another 20 assists.
With the sweep, the Wolfpack showcased their depth, discipline, and resilience—proving they can win both with power and precision. As the regular season winds down, TCNE, now 14-3, looks poised and ready to carry their momentum into conference and postseason play.
