Roughriders Take 4th Place in Class D1

Updated: Nov 9

#1 Southwest and #2 BDS battled at Lincoln Northstar on Saturday afternoon for third and fourth place in Class D1. Southwest finished fourth in 2010 and was seeking its first third-place finish in school history. Unfortunately, things did not go their way, and the Eagles took the match with a 3-0 win over Southwest. The Roughriders finished their season with a fourth-place finish and a record of 34-2.



In set one, BDS took the 4-1 lead early and managed to hold a lead through almost half of the set as Southwest took the lead at 11-10. The Eagles didn't let that last long, though. They knotted it up at 12-12 and extended their lead, forcing Southwest to use a timeout when they trailed 16-13. Errors started to plague the Roughriders, and they had to use another timeout at 21-16. BDS took set one 25-18 over Southwest.




Southwest adjusted between the sets and jumped out in front in set two, 7-4. The Roughriders were clicking as they had strong serves and were finding the court. They forced the Eagles to use a timeout at 13-8, but BDS made some adjustments during the timeout and went on a run to score 13-11. BDS pulled within one, 15-14, and eventually evened the set at 17-17. The Eagles took the 18-17 lead, and Southwest called a timeout. The Eagles created a little more separation and forced the Roughriders to use their final timeout when they trailed 21-19. Southwest crawled back, but BDS took the second set, 25-23, and led the match 2-0.




In set three, BDS led 2-1 early, but the Roughriders took the 5-4 lead. The two knotted it up at 7-7, and BDS took the 12-10 lead. Southwest kept in touch for a while as the two exchanged points until BDS could string together points and force Southwest to call a timeout when they trailed 19-16. Southwest had to use their second timeout at 22-16, and they were finally able to get a little bit of a momentum shift in their favor. The Roughriders strung together a strong run as they forced BDS to use a timeout at 24-23 in favor of the Eagles. Southwest stayed strong, took the 25-24 lead, and forced another BDS timeout. Unfortunately, BDS clawed back to take the third set, 27-25, and the match, 3-0.



BDS was led by Kinzley Bohling, who had nine kills and 11 digs, and Hayley Sliva, who had nine kills, two aces, 10 digs, and nine assists. Also, for the Eagles, Campbell Bohling had seven kills and 20 digs, Peyton Domier had 15 digs, and Olivia Schlegel had 11 digs and 14 assists.
