Against Wills Point, unforced errors on both sides of the net led to a couple of very close games, as the Lady Panthers won the first two by identical 25-22 scores.
The Lady Tigers rallied to win the third game 25-15 to force a deciding fourth game, which Mabank won 25-19.
In sub-varsity action, both Mabank’s freshman and junior varsity squads defeated Corsicana, but lost to Wills Point.
