How do Falcons lay goose eggs? When they're shut out (Albany @ Troy, women's volleyball, 4/27/21)

 Four weeks ago, Troy High earned its first win of the season in women's volleyball, beating Albany in four sets.

Today, the two teams met again at Zotto Memorial Gym in the quarter finals of the Suburban Council consolation tournament, with the winner to play either Saratoga or Colonie on Thursday. Troy, coming off a five set loss to the Blue Streaks last Friday, had won consolation tournaments in women's soccer & basketball earlier this season. Could they do it again?

It's clear, however, that the Falcons came back to town to give Troy, ah, claws for alarm, as they weren't going down quietly. Unlike their avian namesakes, however, Albany lacked the killer instinct, and the Lady Horses pitched their third shutout of the season, all in the last week and a half. Now, coach Talia Valenti's club will find out where they'll play on Thursday.

Now 6-10 overall on the season, Troy is peaking at the right time. They'd love to win this tournament, and carry some momentum for the school into spring sports season, which begins next week.
