Lady Dogs down Kats

The Lady Bulldogs knocked off rival

Columbia Falls for the second time this season, posting a 25-14,

17-25, 25-20, 25-15 league victory Saturday.

Emily Sullivan and Abby Strellnauer had

nine kills each and Baylee Tveidt had six blocks to lead

Whitefish.

After Whitefish dominated the first

set, Columbia Falls came back with the support of their home crowd.

Whitefish, however, pulled away at the end of the third game and

then cruised in the final frame.

“We came out really strong and were

able to run through the middle a lot better,” Whitefish coach Sarah

Scott said. “That’s a big part of our game.”

The Lady Bulldogs had 33 total kills,

30 assists and 12 blocks. Tveidt led with four of the team’s 13

aces.

Scott commended Tveidt and Brooke

Silliker for their work at the net.

“That made the difference,” Scott said.

“They’ve working really hard.”
