Richland volleyball stuffs Southridge in 3
The Richland Bombers are just one of two undefeated teams left in the Mid-Columbia Conference after sweeping the host Southridge Suns 25-13, 25-20, 25-23 on Tuesday.
Richland cruised to a 25-13 win the in first set, but Southridge made the Bombers work for the next two.
“Southridge is a good team,” Richland coach Bob Raidl said. “The first set was not indicative of how competitive the match was. John’s players are always disciplined and never quit. We were fortunate to make a few good plays near the end of sets two and three to win. Close matches are always fun to win and difficult to lose. I think that we were able to refocus after a couple of Southridge runs, particularly in set three. Lots to work on in practice, but I really loved our energy.”
Kamry Breard had nine kills and 22 assists for the Bombers (3-0), while Jordanne Bauder added 19 assists and Lexi Lacey 13 kills.
Riley Hebdon led the Suns with eight kills and 14 digs, while Kamaile Moody handed out 20 assists.
“Richland played good defense,” Suns coach John Lengphounpraseut said. “They were much better than us tonight. In the third, we led by three or four points until they caught up to us at 18. Had we started off the match like that, it might have been different. As a team, we hit .103.”
Southridge (2-1) plays at Hanford on Wednesday.
