DAWGS Rip Into Lady Cavs

After bludgeoning the College Park Lady Cavaliers in the first set 25-10, the Lady Bulldogs still had more to give. As the ever-popular line goes from a certain pirate movie: "The beatings will continue until morale improves", and the Lady Bulldogs for once, wanted to play the part of the pirates!

Hannah Davies wasted no time by starting the set with an ace serve at 1-0; then Kelli Stewart blasted one off the Cav's hands at 2-1 then followed with an ace of her own at 5-3; Michele Williams had a well placed dink at 8-3; and Jamie Kaleh sent a rocket down the court side line to put the DAWGS firmly in control at 11-5 and on the 'right side of the whip'. The DAWGS continued to surge ahead jumping to a 21-11 lead behind several Cav errors; some great defensive plays (Hannah Fort and Ashlynn Newman block assist at 13-5 forcing the Cavs into a time out, and a Michele Williams/Kelli Stewart 'gang block' at 19-11); and some impressive kills ('All Universe' Alicia Shaffer with a line shot at 14-6; a great blast in the middle from MB/MH Hannah Fort at 16-7); and immediately followed up with the new rotation - with a statement made by a Michele 'Boom Boom' Williams' seismic SlammaJammaKrammaHamma (wow...., how far can we go with this?) kill shot at 17-7.

The DAWGS laid back at this point, chillin' and taking a brief DAWGIE nap - allowing the Lady Cavs to re-group, gain some momentum of their own, and to reappear like an old coin scoring 8 points to the Lady Bulldogs' 2 and on the doorstep to a 23-19 defecit. But OH Jamie Kaleh and Alicia Shaffer rattled off the last 2 points for Magnolia and the DAWGS maintained their perfect record against College Park and the 15-5A district for another set, 25-20. Who said being a pirate wasn't fun?
