Lakers etch out first win against Southwestern CC and end the weekend 1-3 at the Yellow Jacket Invite

The Lakers travelled to Rochester, MN this weekend to take on Harper College, RCTC, Southwestern CC, and NIACC. Friday they took a set off of Harper and lost to a very scrappy RCTC in 3. On Saturday they started the day with a rematch against Southwestern and earned their first win of the season. Then they battled hard against NIACC and lost in three. "There were a lot of individuals who are competing really hard and figuring out their game, now we are working on putting it together.
