Lady Bulldogs Defeat Bobcats in Three

The Golden Plains Lady Bulldog volleyball team hosted the Western Plains Bobcats in Rexford for a Friday dual on September 25. The Bulldogs defeated the Bobcats in three sets.

The Bulldogs started off the first set with a commanding lead, but the Bobcats fought their way back to tie it up 10. Following a time out, the Bobcats extended their lead to 18-13 before the Dogs came back to win the close set 28-26.

The Dogs again took the lead early in the second set. The Bobcats worked to narrow the spread, but the Dogs held on to the lead and took the win 25-22. The third set was another close match as both teams hustled to keep it close. The game remained tied for much of the set, but the Dogs pulled ahead at the end to win 25-21.

“We did really well,” said senior Katie Carter. “Even though we were tired from the busy Homecoming week, we pushed really hard to finish in three sets. We do need to work on our endurance to keep our energy up.”

Rath and Unrein had 6 kills each, Wark 4, Jade Dible 3, Carter 1, and Estella Vargas 1. Assists were handed out by Wark 10, Unrein 5, E. Vargas 1, and Dible 1.
