The Lady Bucks had a successful Senior Night as they defeated the Dublin Lady Lions for the second time this season in three straight sets.
After honoring their four seniors — Lane Bartoskewitz, Preslie Malcuit, Ava Russell, and Bianca Gotcshall — the Lady Bucks won 25-18, 25-23, and 25-16 to take the match 3-0 Friday, Oct. 17.
Despite Dublin at one point going on a six-point run, the Lady Bucks got strong front-line play from Bartoskewitz and Kamden Tidwell, who recorded a handful of kills to pull ahead. Bartowskewitz then held serve for the final eight points of the set, including three straight aces.
The second set went back and forth, being tied on several different occasions–8-8, 11-11, 12-12, 15-15 and 20-20. The Lady Bucks used a four-point run to get ahead 24-22, which included an ace from Sofia Lopez and a kill from Bartoskewitz.
Following a kill from the Lady Lions, which cut the lead to 24-23, a Bartoskewitz kill closed out the set for the 2-0 match lead.
The Lady Bucks started the third set scoring the first six points, before Dublin scored the next two after a timeout. Malcuit and Tidwell had good front-line play with kills in the set, and Bartoskewitz got the score to 23-14 with another kill of her own.
It was back-to-back unforced errors by the Lady Lions that closed out the set and the match for the Lady Bucks.
Breckenridge travels to Millsap Tuesday, Oct. 21 and then hosts Peaster Friday, Oct. 24 for their final two games of the season.
