The Lady Bulldogs hosted Carrizo Springs Wednesday, September 20th. In the first set the ladies fought to return the serves of the Lady Cats. Our goal for this game was to improve our serving and transitioning. Unfortunately we fell in the first game losing 9-25. After a quick huddle we were soon ready to get back in the game. We fought point for point but were unable to get the win with a set 2 score of 24-26. While the result was not what we hoped for I see great effort in these ladies as we continue to push for successful rotation, transitioning and communicating skills.
