Montgomery made a late run against The Woodlands on Tuesday night, but the defending state champions proved too much in a 25-14, 25-11, 25-22 victory.

Libero Jordyn Johnson and outside hitter Molly Scott gave the Lady Bears (7-12) some life with their passing in the last set, but the Lady Highlanders’ powerful offense countered with the final blow.

“We made adjustments. We played with intensity,” Montgomery coach Terri Wade said. “I just think they were all in it and they believed in themselves. They had confidence in the third set.”

The Woodlands (18-2) trailed 15-11 after winning the first two sets, but Courtney Quinn capped a 5-1 run with an ace and had a kill off of an assist from Kendall Cook to put her team up 21-20.
