Prairie Valley volleyball beats Gold-Burg
The Prairie Valley Lady Bulldogs got a look at district opponent Gold-Burg on Tuesday night at the Lady Bears gym.
The Lady Bulldogs won in straight sets 3-0 against the Lady Bears in a match that pretty fast.
Prairie Valley was coming into the game following a loss against Savoy where the main criticism was too many missed serves from the Lady Bulldogs. New Coach Belinda Lloyd wanted to challenge her team to do better following that performance.
The Lady Bulldogs feature an experienced senior core with playoff experience and expectations to finish amongst the top of the final district standings this season.
For Gold-Burg, the team is still trying to find its footing at this point in the season, following last year where it missed the playoffs.
With the teams at these two different points in the season, the result was not much of a competitive match.
Prairie Valley easily won the first set 25-5 as service errors seemed cleaned up and the Lady Bears struggled with service-receive and creating threatening offense.
Things were more of the same in the second and third set, but Gold-Burg showed improvement in the results. There were tips on balls hit at the net, less hitting errors and good effort to go around. The Lady Bulldogs won the sets 25-9 and 25-12.
For the Lady Bulldogs, it was a good pick me up game for them heading into a tough week next week against where they will play at a tough tournament in Saint Jo.
Lloyd liked that the serving percentage was at a much more acceptable rate after the match when compared to the results against Savoy.
For the Lady Bears, Coach Addison Hoff was frustrated, but tried to look on the side of positive for her team that is still growing on and off the court.
