After a five set win over Abbeville on Monday afternoon, the weary Pike County Lady Bulldogs volleyball team earned a split over Elba and Zion Chapel on Tuesday night.

In match one against the Elba Tigers, the Bulldogs pulled out a win in three games 25-12, 23-25, 15-8. In the second match against Zion Chapel, the Rebels got the better of the Bulldogs winning in straight games 23-25, 17-25.

“We knew that we were leg weary,” said head coach Todd Reynolds. “That was the one difference in the game. We didn’t have enough lift in a lot of our shots. That’s what it came down to. Zion Chapel is a good team. They had an aggressive strategy.”

Precious Vaznaian finished the tri-match with 17 kills and four aces, while Keeyah Rodgers had eight blocks and 15 kills. Senkeithia Thompson had 24 assists, five blocks and six aces.

The split on Tuesday gives the Bulldogs a 6-4 record on the year.

“We are more experienced and confident,” Reynolds said. “We are executing and attacking. Sometimes we get soft with our attack, but we do execute the bump, set and spike strategy and they have good team work. It’s a work in progress.”

The Bulldogs return home on Thursday to take on Slocomb.
