Thursday night’s match between Warsaw and Northridge meant a little bit more to the Tigers than a usual match. A win for Warsaw would clinch a Northern Lakes Conference title.

After a teeter-totter first four sets between the two premier volleyball teams in the Northern Lakes Conference, Warsaw ran into an abrupt shortage of scoring during the decisive fifth set Thursday night at NorthWood.
