On Thursday, October 30th, the Lady Bulldogs Volleyball team travelled to Manhattan for the 5B District tournament. Undefeated during their conference season, the team went into the tournament as the first seed.
The first game the Bulldogs played was against the Three Forks Wolves. The winner of this game would be guaranteed a spot in the Divisional tournament next week. The Bulldogs beat the Wolves, 16-25, 25-9, 25-16, and 25-21.
On Friday, the Bulldogs played the Jefferson Panthers. This game would determine who would move straight to the championship and who would have to work their way through the loser’s bracket back to the championship. The Bulldogs sadly fell short in this match, losing in five sets. The scores were 25-20, 25-19, 20-25, 15-25, and 14-16.
The Bulldogs played the Ennis Mustangs next to determine who would play Jefferson in the championship. The Bulldogs won in three sets against the Mustangs, 25-18, 25-22, and 25-19.
After beating the Mustangs, the Bulldogs moved straight into the championship against Jefferson. To claim first place, the Bulldogs would have to beat the Panthers twice, as they had not lost yet. And the Bulldogs did just that. Ending the day having played four matches, the Bulldogs’ first-place trophy was worth it all. In the first championship match against Jefferson, the Bulldogs won in four, 25-18, 21-25, 25-13, and 25-22. In the final championship, the Bulldogs overcame the Panthers, 25-18, 25-27, and 27-25. This put the Bulldogs as District 5B champions and gave them a one-seed in the Divisional tournament.
The Lady Bulldogs will play on November 6 and 7 in Butte at the divisional tournament. Games begin at 10 a.m. They are playing the third seed from the 3B district, Colstrip.
