Lady Broncos' win streak snapped by Asotin

The Lind-Ritzville/Sprague volleyball team was nursing a three-game win streak when it returned home to finish the season with three straight home matches. On Oct. 19, the third-place Lady Broncos hosted Asotin, a team they had just swept a week earlier. This time, however, Asotin returned the favor, sweeping LRS 25-21, 25-22, 25-20.

Izzy Bailey had 18 digs for the visiting Panthers. Dakota Killian had nine kills and five blocks for LRS.

A win for LRS would have meant at least a third-place league finish. The loss put the Lady Broncos at 7-3 in league play with two games remaining. Asotin is 6-5 with one game remaining. LRS can clinch third place with a win against Colfax on Oct. 22 or Liberty on Oct. 24. Both teams have already swept LRS this season.

Asotin’s final match is against Reardan. An Asotin win, coupled with two LRS losses, would leave the two teams tied at the end of the regular season.
