The Lady Cougars started out slow, and neither side played a really clean game all night, with a lot of errors.
"It was a win, but it wasn't pretty,” said Upper Lake Coach Sandy Coatney.
For Upper Lake, some of the stars for the night were Hannah Johnson, Rebecca Grupe, Cierra Peel and Samantha Bullard, Coatney reported.
Johnson, a junior, probably had the best all around night with 10 kills, 20 serves and 5 aces (unreturned serves).
Grupe and Peel also had 10 kills, and Bullard, the setter, had 15 assists and did a good job of spreading the ball around.
"For us, this was a bit of a let-down after our performance in the tournament this weekend; communication was down and errors were up,” said Coatney. “We need to find re-discover our intensity if we want to beat Lower Lake on Thursday."
The Junior Varsity, which also played, lost in two (two out of three for a match), 20-25 and 23-25.
"Too many errors, too many mistakes," said JV Coach Darren Brown, the JV Coach. "They had an off night, but I'm sure they'll have 'it' back by Thursday."

The Eagles came away with a four-set win. After dropping the first set 22-30, Mendocino proceeded to sweep the next three 30-26, 30-23, 30-26.
Mendocino’s offense was paced by sophomore setter Jenny Stark (Clearlake), who dished out 20 assists. Sophomore Jamie Brown (Potter Valley) led the Eagle attack with 11 kills. Freshman outside hitter Jenn Cox (Upper Lake) recorded four kills. Freshman Angela Newell (Fort Bragg) notched four kills, three digs, and had three key aces at the service line.
“The last time we played them, Redwoods was on the last leg of a long road trip and were a bit ragged – this time around they were much sharper and we were fortunate to come out of there with a win,” Mendocino Coach Ori Polkinghorne said.
Redwoods came out serving strong which fueled their game one win. Game two went back and forth until the Eagles were able to push to seal the win. Game three was critical to the momentum of the match as Redwoods went up 12-4 and looked as if they were in control.
At that point, Freshman Shana Hiatt (Clearlake) stepped to the service line with her potent serve and fired point after point until Mendocino had caught Redwoods at 12. Hiatt ended the evening with seven aces.
The Eagles were able to win games three and four.
“It was a great team effort for us tonight. We are really starting to see our team potential emerging,” Polkinghorne said.
This week is a great opportunity to see the Eagles volleyball team in action as they host the defending Bay Valley Conference champs Solano Community College on Wednesday and then take on Contra Costa at home on Friday.
Both matches start at 6:30 p.m. in the Mendocino College gym.

The class runs from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Lake County Sheriff's Office training room at the Hill Road Jail campus, 4913 Helbush St. in Lakeport.
An overview of California Boating Law, required and recommended equipment on your boat, trailering, aids to navigation, light configurations and much more are covered topics.
Successful completion of this class often earns boat owners a discount on their boat insurance.
Last, boat operators should get their classes in before 2010 when California initiates licensing of boat operators. Impacted classes are expected when this becomes law. Successful completion of a boating course before 2010 will meet that obligation.
Preregistration is not required but recommended. Materials are optional, but if desired, the fee is $25 to purchase them.
