The Rebels lost a big match against the Adrian Dragons Tuesday night. MCC started the night off with the serve. The Rebels had a few attacking errors, but bounced back quickly. Adrain and MCC went point for point through the first half of the set. The Dragons caught the Rebels off guard a few times with big swings from their left handed hitters. From there MCC started to play timid and make mistakes, costing them the set 17-25. Game two started off in similar fashion, but the Dragons were able to slowly gain a lead.

The MCC Rebels opened the home portion of their schedule last Friday night when they played host to the school that ended their season a year ago. The MCC Rebels and the Wabasso Rabbits squared off twice last season with MCC beating the Rabbits in Marshall at Southwest Minnesota State University 20-12 but the Rebels would fall in the Section title game in Slayton 28 to 15. Both teams have changed a great deal since Wabasso graduated a large senior class while the Rebels also lost many key skill position players from a year ago. The Rebels entered the game ranked second in state and they were looking to take care of business.
