Lions fall to tough H-D team in volleyball

Clear Lake wrapped up the regular volleyball season at Hampton-Dumont Tuesday, Oct. 20.  The Bulldogs took a bite out of the Lions, 25-19, 25-16, 25-17.

“We had a rough night down in Hampton.  We came out a bit flat and had trouble building momentum throughout the match,” said Coach Keith Sears.  “Despite the loss, there were big strides made by a number of the girls which, as a coach, is always great to see late in the season.  We had a good couple days of practice in preparation for our first round game on Monday, Oct. 26, against Algona.

At Hampton, Emily Snelling led the Lions in assists with 11.  She also recorded a block. Marne Euken scored with six kills, while Kiersten Baalson went 17/18 at the service line with three aces.

Chloe Mueller topped the team in digs with 21.

Results of Monday’s post-season match against Algona will appear in next week’s Mirror-Reporter.
