The Gold-Burg Lady Bears continued their quest to get a win on Tuesday, traveling to Prairie Valley in District 2A-10 action.
However, Gold-Burg found itself on the business end of a straight-set loss 27-25, 25-19, 25-22.
Prairie Valley improved to 5-26 with a 2-10 in 2A-10 while Gold-Burg dropped to 0-25, 0-12.
“This was a very important game for both us and Gold-Burg” said Lady Bulldogs coach Jeannie Carpenter. “We worked very hard leading up to this game, knowing that they were working just as hard.”
Gold-Burg head volleyball coach Lyndsey Shaw chimed in.
“It wasn’t our greatest performance of the season,” she said. “But, it was still very competitive.”
The match certainly started out competitively, with Prairie Valley taking the first set 27-25. Both teams had leads in the second and third sets, but it was the Lady Bulldogs who prevailed in the end.
