Lady Rams Get Scrappy with the Lady Bulldogs

Game #2 was not necessarily the 'prettiest' win you would've ever seen, but there were some interesting moments in this close contest. The fans were treated to possibly the best volleying they've seen yet this season, while the Lady Bulldogs and the Lady Rams were knocking on each other on a 4-4 tie for an eternity (3 or 4 volleyball minutes) - and it was just packed throughout with exciting digs and 'booming' attacks by both squads. The Lady Bulldogs fell backwards a little later and muddled through some sloppy play to fall behind for the majority of the game, trailing by as much as 3 at 12-15, until they tied it up, shortly thereafter, at 17-17. The Lady Bulldogs forged ahead at 19-17, 23-21 and then "dog-piled" the Lady Rams to close out the 25-23 contest.
