The Lady Vandals’ season came to an end Monday at their own Class 2A Regional with a 25-19, 25-11 loss to Pana.
Vandalia battled back from a 20-11 deficit to make things interesting in the first game. But Pana righted the ship down the stretch and then cruised in the second game for its third victory over its South Central Conference rivals in as many tries this season.
The sixth-seeded Lady Panthers move on to face No. 3 seed Shelbyville in a 7pm semifinal match on Tuesday while the 11th-seeded Lady Vandals finish the season at 5-28-1.
Litchfield swept Greenville 25-18, 25-15 in the night’s other quarterfinal. The Lady Purple Panthers will take on Hillsboro at 6pm in Tuesday’s first semifinal match, with the Shelbyville/Pana semifinal to follow. The winners of those matches will move on to Thursday’s 6pm championship.
