Mission absorbs Senior Night setback

Falls to undefeated Florence, but casts hopeful eye toward postseason

ST. IGNATIUS — In terms of scheduling, the Mission volleyball team (11-7, 5-3 conference) saved the best for last. At Thursday’s home finale, the Bulldogs celebrated Senior Night while taking on the unsavory task of hosting the undefeated Florence Falcons, who toted a 14-0 record into the contest. While the stage was set for an upset that would have been a thrilling send-off for the team’s elder statesmen, the Falcons were not to be denied, cruising to a sweep and keeping their perfect season intact, 25-15, 25-7, 25-16.
