Conroe Dog-Tired of Magnolia in Set 2

Set #2 was ALL DAWG!! Michele Williams opened the bidding at 4-1 with a 'Jackie Chan' kung fu - type move with a great left-handed, 'reactionary' return of a block,...err...pass,...kill, whatever - that put a good volley to rest on Conroe's side of the net. Michele followed it up with another kill at 5-2 as Magnolia began separating themselves from the anemeic Tigers by a least 6 points from then on. The Lady Bulldogs (Fab Four) ganged up on them behind successful GLIDE kill shots on the right side, from both MB Hannah Fort and MB Michele Williams, a service ace and kill from OH Alicia Shaffer, and a missle from OH Jamie Kaleh.

The ladies played well defensively, as well. Alicia Shaffer led Magnolia with 16 digs, Kristyn Bergen had 8 with Hannah Davies had 7; Michele Williams and Caitlin Holland had 4 apiece; followed by 3 from Jamie Kaleh and singles from Kelli Stewart, Mandi Gray and Kati Michael. Michele Williams had 1 solo and 1 assist block; Hannah Fort and Kristen Bergen had 1 apiece, and Kelli Stewart finished the evening with 1 assist block.




OH Jamie Kaleh and MB Hannah Fort closed
off Conroe's hitting lanes with 'team blocking'.


Alicia Shaffer put the Lady Bulldogs up by 7 with a great cross court shot at 17-10; then Hannah Fort slammed one down at 18-10; Kelli Stewart dinked a point at 19-10 then followed it up (after a Caitlin Holland ace serve at 20-10) with a cross court rocket at 21-10; and the ladies cruised to victory number 2 with the score: 25-12. Probably the most impressive win against Conroe to date....but, it still doesn't seem like it's enough!
