The Salem volleyball squad fought hard until the end, but lost the Division II district championship match on Thursday to Field High School.
Field (19-6) defeated Salem (18-7) in four close, hard-fought sets, 25-23, 23-25, 25-22, 25-20.
“It’s easy to be disappointed when you’ve played in the regional semifinals the last several years,” said Salem coach Don Conser.
The match could be Conser’s last. He earned his 600th victory as a coach in September, and says he is contemplating retirement. His decision in part depends on whether or not former assistant coach Michelle Pieniazek decides to return to coaching after giving birth to a child in August. He said he has not made a decision and may not for several months.
