Bowie volleyball crushes Bryson 3-0
The Bowie Lady Rabbits opened their season with a dominant win against Bryson at home on Tuesday night.
The Lady Rabbits won in straight sets 3-0 against the Cowgirls as Bowie starts to work through its biggest early season challenge, figuring out its rotation.
The Lady Rabbits come into this season with only three varsity returners on its roster as the rest of the team gets up to speed.
New players at key positions like setter and libero as well as finding out certain players roles and what combinations of players go with each other are all still being figured out.
The good news is despite all of those things still needing to be solved, Bowie still took it to a 1A team like it is supposed to do.
Bryson has had great recent success as a solid playoff team up until struggling last year.
The Lady Rabbits jumped out to a 10-5 lead in the first set, but let their guard down a bit to allow the Cowgirls to come back and tie it 15-15.
Bowie rebounded and closed the first set on a 10-2 run to win 25-17.
The second set saw the Lady Rabbits lead most of the way again, leading 18-12.
Bryson won five straight points to cut the lead to one point 18-17, but that stretch was as close as the team got to turning things around. Bowie went 7-4 the rest of the way to win the second set 25-21 to go up 2-0.
The third set saw the Lady Rabbits again go out to a big lead at the start and mid-game, up 19-11.
This time, there would be no comeback attempt from the Cowgirls as Bowie shut the door to win the set easily 25-14 and the match 3-0.

Forestburg’s volleyball team gave visiting Chico a solid test Sept. 8, but the Lady Dragons rebounded from a third-set loss to pull out the 3-1 win (25-23, 25-19, 25-27, 25-19).
The Lady Longhorns got out to a quick start with aces from freshmen Madi Wadsworth and Lacie Shotwell staking the squad to a 4-1 lead in game one. Wadsworth later broke a 4-all tie with a kill.
