Northwest Christian played without libero Jersey Buniag and had to switch things up against a powerful 2B opponent.
"It was a great experience for us playing such a tough team. We had some of our longest rallies yet and were fighting for every point," Northwest Christian co-head coach Sarah Barnard said. "Everyone did great and stepped up even when they were out of their normal positions. We are grateful for the great sportsmanship from Rainier."
Rainier (2-0) will host Onalaska on Tuesday. Northwest Christian (3-1) will return home to face Forest Ridge Tuesday, Sept. 15.
