Headline: Bulldog Bites Bird

The Lady Bulldogs came into the Calvary gym and took a hard fought victory 3-1 (25-18, 25-19, 18-25, 25-12) from the Lady Eagles. All the games had some really exciting play as the Eagles continued to hustle throughout the match.  Many of the players had some really nice attaches led by Rebekah Muller's 10 kills.  At the service line Kaisa Spycher (14 serves), Molly Zuhlke (10 serves) and Arin Morelli (9 serves) had very strong serving nights with no errors.  Defensively the team had 5 blocks (Kaisa 3 and Molly F 2) and 93% digging effciency, which is pretty good:-), with Paige Ulrich leading the team with 11 digs and Molly F, Cheyenne, and Molly Z with 9 each.   Service receiving was off with 82% efficiency, which is below the "good" average of about 87% and I'm sure the girls are working on that part of the game as I report.

The game was very entertaining and very exciting despite the loss.  I thing a quote from a classic movie which I'm sure all of you have viewed, Galaxy Quest, is appropriate for the Lady Eagles, "Never give up!  Never surrender!"

Looking forward to Thursday's game at Modesto Christian High School with the JV starting at 6 PM.
