Tuesday saw the second in-state match between the two Eagle squads, this one coming with a trophy on the line as the teams battled in the second annual Lightwell Trophy match.
Faith started the match off strong, winning 25-19 in the first set. The Host Eagles picked up their intensity and the next two sets saw Emmaus win in extra points, 26-24, 26-24. The fourth set saw Emmaus walk away with the 25-22 win and the 3-1 match victory, and the Lightwell Trophy remains in Dubuque for another year.
