Markham Tuesday night. The match included a classic third game, possibly the highest scoring single game in Cooperstown history, which the Mustangs eventually won, 38-36. "I’ve never had a game go that high and the Markham coach said he hasn’t either," Jantzi said. "It was a great, great game." The Redskins had seven game points, including at 35- 34, but failed to capitalize, and used that momentum to gain an early advantage in the fourth set. "We were kind of deflated after losing, and it took us a while to get back into it," Jantzi said. Markham won the fourth set 25-18, completing a three game sweep after losing the opening set 25-16. They won the second set 25-22. "There was just a lot of great volleyball played on both ends," Jantzi said. Junior Kim Armstrong had 20 assistsfour aces and four kills in the match, while Katie Horrigan had seven kills, three assists and tweo blocks. Kyle Mackie added five aces and seven kills and Laura Resnick also had five kills. With the win, the Mustangs imrpoved to 13-2 overall and 7-1 in Center State Conference play, while Cooperstown fell to 10-4 overall and 4-3 in league play. CCS plays at Canastota Friday night. Cooperstown played in the Mt. Markham tournament on Saturday, and finished 3-3 in their pool. "There were a lot of big schools there and we held our own which is a good sign," Jantzi said.
