The Titans battled back from a 2-0 deficit to even the match at two sets apiece only to see the Panthers eke out a win in the fifth and deciding set.

“This was a tale of two matches with Quakertown controlling the first two sets easily,” South coach Matt Ehlers said. “We gained some momentum and took the third and fourth sets, pushing the match to the deciding fifth set.
“We had momentum in the last set, but Quakertown made some well-timed plays to give them the victory. I was proud of the way these boys fought back after dropping the first two sets and truly believe we’ve played better than our record shows. I think it’s just a matter of breaking through one time to start to turn things around for us.”
