The Eisenhower volleyball lost to the visiting Maplewood Tigers on Thursday night 13-25, 9-25 and 11-25. “It wasn’t what we wanted,” Eisenhower head coach Patty Mead said. “Maplewood is a very good team and we are improving every game and this time was an improvement over our first meeting. We will use this as an opportunity to get better for the remainder of the season.” Maplewood was also the winner in the junior varsity contest 25-16 and 25-10.
