Kelli Stewart's kill at 7-1 must've scared the Lady
Cougars straight as they battled to take the first
set from the DAWGS.
Actually the DAWGS opened up with blistering attacks by Meagan Little at 1-0, Courtney Felinski at 3-0; then a Breane Matula kill on the right side at 6-1, followed with a hammer-kill shot by Kelli Stewart at 7-1... when a time out had to be called by the Coogs' coaching staff. The Lady Bulldogs stretched the lead to 8 at 13-5 with just about everyone getting in on the action. There was Kelli at 8-3; Breane at 9-3; Katzy Randall tipping for a point at 10-4; then Breane blasting another one at 12-4; and once the lead seemed unsurmountable - the guns went silent. At least on the DAWGIE Nation side... The Lady Cougars proceeded to open up their arsenal and blew in 11 points to the DAWGS 3, and here we were somehow tied up with the lead squandered at 16-16.
The Lady Bulldogs had lost their MoJo. The Coogs patiently came back and went ahead as the DAWGS scrambled to find their composure. The DAWGS dropped 8 straight points to trail at 16-22 and this opening set and this evening's match was looking at it's darkest hour for the DAWGS.
Outside hitter Katzy Randall and her team mates
put it all together when it was needed the most!
The ladies would need a super-heroine attempt to get back in this set. All they had to do was outscore the Coogs at crunch time 10 to 2 .... no big deal!! Here's what they did in this audio file:
