Fruitport kept fighting far beyond that in the third set, however, finally falling by a highly unusual score of 31-29.
[1]Sadie Haase led the Trojan offense with 16 kills. Gracelynn Olson had 35 assists while Emma Fecher served up three aces.
Fecher also led the defensive effort with 14 digs.
The Trojans fell to 10-19 on the season.
Fruitport will return to action at home on Thursday, hosting Whitehall, Western Michigan Christian and Cadillac for a series of matches.
The Trojans will also compete in Saturday’s annual Greater Muskegon Athletic Association City Tournament, hosted by Mona Shores.
