City's Win Streak Snapped by Palomar

San Diego City had a two-match win streak coming into Wednesday's contest vs. Palomar, but after taking a 2-1 lead the Knights could not hang on and fell to the Comets in five sets (22-25, 25-22, 25-13, 24-26, 11-15).

Fath Patterson had 19 kills and 24 digs, while Ashley Davies added 15 kills and 19 digs in the loss.

After dropping the opening set against Palomar, the Knights responded with a 25-22 win in which Patterson recorded seven of her 19 kills. Davies put down five kills in the third set as the Knights cruised to a 25-13 victory to go up 2-1. 

City looked as though they were headed towards another win in the fourth set, but Palomar came back with a late rally and forced a fifth set by winning, 26-24. Jadin Holland had 10 of her match-high 30 digs in that fourth set, but it wasn't enough to stave off the oncoming Comets.
