The ladies started pool play against Broadus, Mont. They struggled with passing early in the game and lost the first set 14-25, but gained some confidence and charged out to win the second set 25-22. In the third, the Warriors took control. Rebecca Vander May placed some tough serves in the court and created a 7-0 spread for our team. The Hawks never recovered and went down 25-16.

To end pool play we played the hosting team, Belle Fourche, and lost the first set narrowly 24-26, then got down mentally, losing 13-25. This was a match we wanted to win, but couldn’t shake the bad mood. We went from one extreme to another - it should have been a very winnable game.
Harriet was 4/4 setting with one kill assist, 12/12 serving with one ace, 12/13 hitting with 2 kills and one assisted block. Kaitlyn was 38/38 setting with 10 kill assists, 6/6 serving, 4/4 hitting with 2 kills and four digs. Laura was 2/2 setting, 3/3 serving, 4/4 hitting with one kill and one assisted block.

In the first game of the championship bracket play, Bennett County encountered Lead/Deadwood. We were worried that after sitting for a few hours waiting for the bracket to start, and we wouldn’t get moving very well. We were pleasantly surprised with a 25-18, 25-22 win.
Harriet was 1/1 setting, 6/6 serving, 19/21 hitting and had two digs. Kaitlyn was 44/44 setting with 19 kill assists, 13/13 serving with 3 aces, 10/10 hitting with one kill and 9 digs. Laura was 7/7 setting with 3 kill assists, 8/9 serving, 5/6 hitting with 3 kills and two digs. Noelle was 2/4 serving and 4/6 hitting with 3 kills. Brooke was 5/7 serving with 2 aces, 2/2 hitting with one kill and had 6 digs. Rebecca was 1/1 setting, 6/7 serving with one ace and had one dig. Taylor was 13/14 hitting with 4 kills and 2 digs. Tania was 6/6 hitting with 3 kills and had one solo block. Megan S was 1/1 setting, and had 2 digs.
The win against Lead/Deadwood put the Warriors into the semi-finals where they again met Belle Fourche. The winner would move into the Championship. Unfortunately the Ladies fell short 16-25, 19-25. We held the Broncs at game point for six points in the first set and made a run for the win, but one-too-many mistakes lost that set. During the second set, we worked on staying positive so we could walk away from the tournament in a good mood. We ended playing well, as compared to the first game against Belle, we definitely communicated better and played like a team.
