Badgers do well at home tourney

September 24, 2013
The Badger volleyball team hosted the Bonners Ferry Tournament over the weekend and finished second in pool play, but two teams from Montana came out on top overall.
 
Tournament format was two pools of four teams. The Badgers finished second in their pool.

All eight teams seeded into single elimination bracket playing one game to 25.

The Badgers beat Clark Fork in the elimination round, but were put out by Libby.

The Badgers are still playing without senior starter Desirae Minor due to an ankle injury. They hope to have her back in in another week for the Dig Pink match. The first two matches were played without senior outside hitter McKenzie MacDonald, but she was back to finish the tourney.

"The younger players stepped up and we brought Zoe Zielinski and Chloe Copley up to play for a couple of matches," said coach Janis Tucker. "We moved some players around to different spots and I am pleased how they responded. We were one game shy of the championship match and the girls were very disappointed they didn't make it, but the Badgers played some exceptional ball today. We are always looking for reducing service errors and improving our pass receive."

Badger stat leaders for the day were Emma Kelly with 45 assists, Jasmine Hill with 22 kills, Amanda Wilson with two blocks, Malorie Stippich with 30 digs and
Makenzie Carle with 35 digs.

The Badgers play at home today against Kellogg, and Dig Pink is October 1, with a silent action as the team honors many breast cancer survivors as well as other cancer survivors.

If anyone would like to donate to the silent auction, please contact coach Janis Tucker at (208) 267-3149, extension 118, or leave a message at (208) 267-2044
