LEWISTON — The Sandpoint women's volleyball team was not quite able to get into a rhythm during Tuesday night’s 3-1 loss to Lewiston.
After dropping the first two sets, 21-25, 12-25, the Bulldogs came back with a strong third set, winning 26-24. However, the team's rally would fall just short, suffering a 17-25 defeat in the fourth as the Bengals secured the victory.
“We have to give credit to Lewiston tonight as they played a strong, clean game and maintained it the entire match,” head coach Piper Wahlin said. “We struggled to get our hitters going. We’re looking forward to our next match against this team.”
Seniors Vivian Platte and Aubree Lane led the Bulldogs on the offensive end with 12 and 11 kills, respectively. Haley Swaim was phenomenal behind the line compiling six aces; she also added 30 assists on the night.
Sandpoint (4-3) will have another tough matchup on their hands Thursday night at home against Coeur d’Alene.
