CEDAR RAPIDS -- It was by no means their best effort, but it was good enough to put Tripoli in line for a fourth-straight Class 1A state title.
The Panthers never did find an offensive rhythm in Friday night's semifinal match-up with Boyden-Hull. They struggled to get the ball to all-state hitter Megan Gilbert but the defense was good enough for a 25-21, 25-13, 25-22 victory at the Cedar Rapids Ice Arena.
"We just never got into an offensive flow at all," said Panther Coach Will Baumann. "Our passes were off and our sets are all over the place. When you run an offense like we do, you can't have that."
