Lady Bulldogs Hand WWVA Their First League Loss

WALLA WALLA – The Lady Bulldogs handed Walla Walla Valley Academy their first league loss of the season on the Lady Knights court on Oct. 18, but it was far from easy. The Bulldogs brought all they had to the court winning in five hard-fought sets 25-20, 21-25, 22-25, 25-23, 15-12.

“It was a battle every set! We passed the ball pretty consistently so we were able to run our offense all night. Our defense stepped up and played the best we have all season. We finally competed in every game and didn’t have any major breakdowns,” said Bulldog coach Shannon Turner.

“WWVA had not lost a league match yet. We are peaking at the right time, preparing for Regionals,” she added.

The win leaves the Bulldogs with a 4-2 league standing. They face off against Liberty Christian at home on Oct. 24 in their last league match of the season.
