Tigerville, SC - After winning the opening two sets this afternoon at Hayes Gymnasium, the North Greenville Crusaders were unable to stop the charge by the Trojans, dropping the final three sets to fall 3-2. NGU won the first two sets 25-20 before falling in set three 25-18, set four 25-15, and set five in extra points with a score of 19-17.
