The Raiders fought back in set #2 and were able to bounce back with a score of 14-25. Our lady Golden Bears were not done though and they kept fighting and ended up with the win by taking the third set 17-15. Sophomores Taylor Oren, Maria Oliphant, and Zoie Hood had some nice serving, defensive, and offensive plays on the court tonight. Overall, the whole team came together and showed so much improvement in their skills of working together.
The Varsity Lady Golden Bears also came out with the right frame of mind in tonight’s match. While we still came up shy of getting the win, some great strides of improvement were witnessed on the court and this team is continually showing signs of positive growth. Our Golden Bears lost in 3 with scores of 22-25, 14-25, and 20-25. Freshman Bentley Pegg had a very strong showing in tonight’s match. Her defensive skills were on point with 7 strong service receptions and no reception errors, 3 digs, and a solo block. She also added 5 offensive kills to the team totals. For being a freshman starter, Bentley is continuing to show how she earned her spot on this squad.
