A crushing finale to the match...with the DAWGS howling with pride while they're skinning the Lady Panthers 25-8, and sweeping them out of their house! Magnolia had an early 7-1 lead behind a couple of Lady Bulldog OH Kristyn Bergen kills and a couple of MB Michele 'Boom Boom' Williams Glides; then both teams traded errors putting the score at 9-4 before Michele had a block at 10-4, and MB Hannah Fort's 3 point scoring spree against the Panthers with a dink, a block assist with OHR Kelli Stewart, and a blast off Lufkin's hands putting the DAWGS out front at 13-5.
