DAWGS Overcome 'Kats in Set 2

After pummeling the Wildkats in the first set, the Lady Bulldogs were not about to buck the trend of coming out in the second set and falling flat on the floor and allowing their opponent to get back into the game.....or were they? The DAWGS dropped their first two opportunities of the second set with 2 errors and that uneasy feeling was starting to come over the DAWG POUND (fans) before Kelli Stewart relieved their anxieties with a blast off the Kats' paws and team mate Courtney Felinski followed with her "Glide" kill shot, which was surgically placed between the Wildkat defenders to tie the set at 2-2.

Katzy Randall got the ladies out of

their DAWG Daze with her kill in set 2.

The show of force was not enough to deter the Kats who stepped up their game a bit while the DAWGS sputtered briefly tying the Wildkats at least 3 more times over the next 8 possesions. Once Katzy Randall sent a shot down the line to make the score 8 to 7, the rattled Lady Wildkats began to implode with a series of hitting and serving errors, as the Lady Bulldogs added 4 earned points (2 kills from Megan Little, 1 Paige Holland kill and 1 Courtney Felinski kill) along with the Kats' gifts and went on a 12 to 6 run to make the score 20-13 when this audio file begins:

Kelli Stewart (8) and Meagan Little (4) stayed with

the ball all the way and timed their block perfectly.

It may not have been the prettiest win the DAWGS have ever earned, but it doesn't always have to be. The Lady Bulldogs pulled it together, by regrouped, played harder and basically made fewer errors than the Wildkats. In many cases, that in itself is enough for a team to win.

GO LADY BULLDOGS!!!
