Bruin girls volleyball played their final game of the 2022/23 season Thursday evening, hosting the 5-5 South Umpqua Lady Lancers.
A fired up Bruin girls team took the court and battled early to keep pace with South Umpqua, exchanging points early in the set, keeping the score close and even tied at 15-15 mid-way through the first set.
The Bruin girls took a 17-15 lead before the Lady Lancers would come back and take a 21-23 lead before ultimately ending the set with a 21-25 Lady Lancer set win.
In the second set, the Lady Lancers picked up right where they left off at the end of the first, jumping out to an early 3-11 lead over the Bruin girls. Brookings would close the gap, only to have the Lady Lancers go on a run of their own and recover the point gap as well as extend their lead to take a 14-25 win in the second set.
The third set was close early, with the Bruin girls trailing 9-11 and would stay within reach of the Lady Lancers, keeping the Bruin girls within 3 points later in the set with the 15-18. But South Umpqua would not allow the Bruin girls to make a late run, finishing out the set, match and season with a third set 18-25 win.
