The Lady Wave would not qo quietly from there.
Tupelo would hold advantages in both the 2nd and 3rd sets but Central proved too much for them with the play of their hitters, as Mia Griffin and Allie Kirkland put up 12 kills between them in the final two sets, including the match winner from Kirkland.
Allie would lead the way with 10 kills while Griffin added 9. Amelia Lancaster added 21 assists.
Central is back in play next Monday with a key region matchup against Mantachie.
