DAWGS Turn the Table Back Their Way

The Lady Bulldogs dug deeper and turned the momentum around their way in this set with the help of their talented underclassmen: Meagan Little, Kelli Stewart and setters junior Hannah Davies and freshman Paige Holland as they complimented the prowess of veterans: Michele Williams, Alicia Shaffer, and Hannah Fort. When they pulled together, they raised the bar and the DAWGS were in full force and were unknowingly giving the spectators a glimpse of the future!

Coach J found a way to turn the match back the Lady Bulldogs' way.

Williams opened the DAWGS scoring behind a couple of classic sets and blistering kills at 2-2; then a Kelli Stewart ace at 3-2 (one of her 5 for the night); a Boom Boom block in the middle at 5-2, and a hit at 6-4 before the rotation took over and Hannah Fort blocked 2 successive attacks by the Tigers as the DAWGS began pulling forward at 8-4.

Gotta Love that DEFENSE! Junior Kelly Stewart and Michele Williams shutting down the left.

After a few Tiger errors, junior Meagan Little jammed 'em with a kill in the middle, then Alicia Shaffer sneaked a left handed tip shot at 14-7; followed up by a (rotation-returning) Michele Williams who blasted a missle in there at 15-9; then a Shaffer jump serve and a Tiger hitting error later had the DAWGS howling again up front and on top at 17-9. Meagan scalded the Tigers again at 21-11 with a shot and it was beginning to look like this was going to be a real dogfight!!
