SOUTH BEND (Sat., Oct. 20, 2007) - It is difficult to beat an opponent three times in the same season but the Couriers did it with a four-game win over Lakeland Christian in the ICSTS Northern Regional final.
The Couriers came out strong to take the first game 25-16 but the Cougars roared back for a 25-20 second-game triumph. The Couriers righted themselves for 25-20 and 25-15 win in the next two games for their third regional title in four years and fourth straight trip to Indianapolis.
In a midday game, the Goshen Blue Blazers nearly upset the Couriers with mistake-free play in the first two games of a five-game semifinal. As the Blue Blazers appeared to tire, the Couriers took advantage to win the match 24-26, 25-21, 25-16, 25-16, 15-10. The Couriers went 4-0 against the homeschoolers in 2007.
The Couriers play in the state finals Saturday at Horizon Christian School in Indianapolis. The time and opponent remain unknown at the present time.
