Libby’s volleyball frustrations continued last week with two conference losses to Whitefish and Polson.

The match against the Lady Bulldogs was especially hard to take for Libby, a team coming off an emotional low in a 3-1 loss to Troy earlier in the week.

The first game’s score spoke for itself as Whitefish dominated 25-6. 

The second and third games were much closer, Libby earning a tight one, 25-23.

But Whitefish proved overpowering again in the fourth game, sending the Lady Loggers home with a 25-11 ousting.

Harley Nelson had five kills and a .308 attack percentage, leading her team as a “bright spot to a gloomy night,” as head coach Cindy Ostrem-Johnston said. 

The Lady Loggers weren’t able to sneak a victory against Polson, as they were swept 3-0; 17-25, 24-26, 22-25.

Libby struggled to close against Polson.

“We corrected better but blew leads,” Ostrem-Johnston said. “Unforced errors at critical times. We need to handle pressure, cut down on errors.”

The losses drop Libby to 1-5 and 1-4 in conference, the lone win being over Frenchtown on Sept. 1.

Libby will attempt to battle back 1 p.m. Saturday at home against Columbia Falls.

Freshman and sophomore volleyball coach Kyle Crawford sent stats for his younger girls.

The froshmore team is 0-5, but has played close matches with Columbia Falls.

Kira Lauer led the Lady Loggers against Whitefish with four aces and five digs.
