Trotters fall in 3 to Bulldogs

The Plains Trotters hosted the Mission Bulldogs in the Trotters' first home game of the season Monday evening.

Though the Trotters lost in three sets, their show of energy and love of the game assures a competitive season. The Trotters rallied when down and hustled with key digs and strong serves.

The Trotters came out with massive energy for the beginning of the season and traded points and volleys with the Bulldogs during the first set. The teams were tied at 11 before Mission pulled ahead and sealed the first game 25-19. In the second set of the evening, the Bulldogs got an early lead on the Trotters, who came within one point several times as they rallied back. The Bulldogs won 25-21.

In the third set, Plains started with a 3-1 lead before Mission caught up, took the lead and won 25-16.

The Trotters have two seniors this year, including Piper Bergstrom and Kallen Burrows. The team will travel to Arlee for a match Thursday and then host Loyola next Thursday.
