Cowgirls lose to Lynx in three sets

The Clarion-Goldfield-Dows varsity volleyball team is having some trouble getting that elusive 20th win of the season, dropping a home match in three sets to Webster City last Tuesday by scores of 26-24, 26-24 and 25-12.

They stayed close in set one, with Sydney TerHark making a kill from the left side to make it 24-22 Lynx. A hit out of bounds by the visitors brought the red and black within a point of tying it up, and a net call in favor of the Cowgirls did just that. However, that’s as far as they would get as successive kills by the Lynx to open spots on the floor gave them a win in the opening game.

The Cowgirls hung with them again in the second set, with a Hannah TerHark kill giving them a lead at 20-19. A Webster City spike for a point tied it, and a Cowgirl hit past the back line suddenly made it 22-20 for the Lynx. After a ball hit into the net gave C-G-D a point, a Lynx kill was followed by a ball hit long to put them up 23-22. After Webster City extended it to 24-22, the Cowgirls did not go down quietly in tying it at 24-24. A net call went in favor of the Lynx, and a kill that landed just inside the back corner gave the visitors a 2-0 match lead.
