Tuesday’s game at Riverside saw Destrehan heading down to Reserve and leaving with the loss in three straight games by scores of 25-21, 25-14 and 25-11.

The opening game was the most competitive of the three, with the teams trading volleys and sideouts up to a 21-20 score in the Lady Rebels favor. That brought senior Aimee Williamson to the server’s box where she sparked a run for the final four points.

Williamson again started a streak about mid-way through the second set after Riverside had jumped ahead with a steady lead of
