Trojan spikers fall to Sabers
New Prague's Kate Seymour goes up for a block attempt during the Trojans' Section 2AAA semifinal loss to Shakopee Tuesday, Oct. 30.

Shakopee’s blocking and defense helped them build a 10-2 lead in the first set, and New Prague was never able to close the gap. The second set also started slow for the Trojans, as the Sabers took an 15-4 lead before the Trojans started a comeback that fell far short.

The teams would go back-and-for the rest of the way, with Shakopee taking a 24-21 lead before the Trojans fought back to tie it at 24-24. New Prague fought off six match points before succumbing to the Sabers 27-25.
The Trojans end their season with a 20-10 record. Shakopee, the No. 2 seed in the section, will face No. 1 seed Minnetonka at 6 p.m. Saturday in New Prague for the Section championship.
