@ Bismarck State 8/31

3    BSC    25    16   25   27
1    DCB    21   25   13   25

This road trip proved to be a great test for us.  The 4 sets with BSC was much like a roller coaster ride and we will need to work on how to level that out.  We fell behind in the first set but went on a nice rally to show that we weren't going to give up.  The second set we came out strong from point 1 and I am very proud of the way we kept attacking the ball to hold the lead.  Set 3, however, after the intermission was definitely the down slope of our coaster ride.  We got stuck in a couple rotations and couldn't rally up more than 1 or 2 points at a time.  How to pull ourselves out of slumps is a constant battle with any team so the sooner we can figure that out, the better we will be.  This match could have easily gone all 5 sets as the 4th was a tight one.  We lost momentum on key points toward the end and couldn't quite pull if off.   Overall, I am proud of our effort and look forward to playing BSC again in a few weeks.
Stephanie Brenden had a nice game with 10 kills and 3 blocks.  Taylor Hewson led our defense with 17 digs and added 7 kills and 2 ace serves as well.  Victoria Obergfell has adjusted well as a freshman to the faster pace and contributed 21 assists along with 9 kills and 2 ace serves.
We will be working hard these next few days before we face off with Williston State here in the Woodshed!
