Breanne Garry warms up prior to the Chiefs match against the Cadets Wednesday. Moses Lake lost the match to Eisenhower and falls to 0-2 in league competition.
MOSES LAKE - The Moses Lake girls bowling team was looking to put together back to back wins when they hosted the Cadets Wednesday, but the Chiefs struggled to maintain any consistency and dropped the match.
"I thought were ready to roll coming off the win against Sunnyside Tuesday," coach Billy Brice said. "But the girls just didn't have it ... seemed nervous and I am not sure why?"
The Chiefs lost the first game by 59 pins, 763-704, which prompted a pep talked from Brice.
"I talked to the girls to try and settle them down a bit," he said. "I also decided to make a change and bring up Kimberly Mulder (in place of Jessica Craig) off the JV 1 team who had just rolled a 201 hoping that would get us back on track. But it didn't help as we lost the second game 716-669."
Brice said he had hoped to get a split going into the Baker Games, and have a chance to pull out the win, but it just didn't happen.
"We did win the first Baker Game, 129-118 and avoided a shutout," he said. "But we lost the second game, 155-126, and are now 0-2 in league play."
Moses Lake lost its first match of the season to Davis Nov. 8.
"We're hoping to rebound against Selah on the road Monday," Brice said. "I'm going to bring up a couple of younger girls ... Ashleigh Hash and Kimberly (Mulder) who are bowling really well, and hope that gets us going."
