The T. C. Williams High School volleyball team took the floor at home last night with a record of 4-3. Although they finished their match against the Woodson Caveliers with a loss, the Titans played hard, coming back from a two game deficit to make this one of the most exciting matches of the young season.

Many fans left after the first two games, believing that the Titans didn’t have a chance. However, T. C. got their offense on-track in the third game and looked even stronger in the fourth.

The Titans began the fifth and deciding game with a 3-0 run, and the crowd at The Garden was hopeful. The Titan defense broke down, however, and the girls lost the final game, 15-11.
