HYDE — District 6 perennial power Bald Eagle Area swept the host Clearfield Lady Bison Tuesday evening, but each game came down to the wire as the Lady Eagles escaped with 25-22, 25-23, and 27-25 wins.
With only two regular season matches left before the post-season, the Lady Bison record sits at 10-6.
Leading the way for the hosts was junior Sonny Diehl, who had eight kills, including the 500th of her career, and 27 digs.
Senior Natalie Rowles led the team with nine service points, and added four kills and 10 digs.
Haley Billotte was second on the team with 22 digs, Ellie McBride led with 21 assists, and Molly Maines was second with five kills.
The close loss prompted Lady Bison head coach Sandy Bailor to add, “The Girls played a tough match against a superior team, they never quit, were hitting the floor picking up some hard hits from Bald Eagle. We were neck and neck every game. It was a night that we finally realized we can compete with the best! Also, congratulations to Sonny Diehl for reaching her 500th kill!!”
After just one night off, the Lady Bison will host Tyrone Thursday for their annual Pink Out Game.
