Blue Knights Drop Tight Four Set Battle at Anoka Ramsey

In what was a hard‑fought match, the DCTC Blue Knights fell in four sets on the road to the Anoka‑Ramsey Golden Rams.

From the opening whistle, both teams exchanged runs and momentum, with neither side willing to concede an inch. The Rams managed to take the first set, but the Blue Knights responded in the second. As the match progressed, long rallies, smart shot selection, and tenacious defense defined the contest.

Set 1: Anoka‑Ramsey captured the opening set, edging out DCTC 23-25.
Set 2: DCTC bounced back to force extra points but lost the set 24-26.
Set 3: DCTC then came out with aggressive hitting and effective serving to win 25-16.
Set 4: The Blue Knights fell behind early, fought hard but fell short in the end 18-25.
