Callie Raney prepares to bump a serve made by a Cody player Saturday afternoon in Green River. The Lady Wolves struggled against the Fillies, dropping the game in three sets.
A long struggle for a win finally ended for the Lady Wolves volleyball team Thursday night.
The team won both their first set and first game Thursday night at home when they took on Riverton. The Lady Wolves took the game by winning three out of the four sets played. Riverton took an early lead winning the first set 25-20, but the Lady Wolves rebounded in the final three sets, winning 25-22, 25-20 and 25-16.
That momentum didn't last as the Lady Wolves lost their Saturday game against Cody in three sets.
The Lady Wolves struggled against the Cody Fillies throughout the match and we able to tie Cody during the second set, but the Lady Wolves were unable to overcome and fell to the Fillies 25-15, 25-19 and 25-11.
"We had a couple of great games before this," head coach Rikki Shantz said after Saturday's game. "We did not play our best volleyball."
Shantz said the game was an emotional let down for the girls, saying the team was riding a high after their win against Riverton.
She said the team has continually improved since the start of the season, but the girls lacked energy when they took on Cody. Shantz also described the team's practices being very productive for her girls, saying she's seeing improvement from many key players.
When the Lady Wolves take on Evanston at home Thursday, one of Shantz' goals will be to have the players hit the court with more energy than they had Saturday.
Their game takes place at 6 p.m.
