Lady Cards Fall On The Road, Win At Home

The Lady Cardinals volleyball team took on three opponents last week.  Soda Springs faced two district opponents in Declo and West Side as well as 4A Marsh Valley.  The Lady Cardinals started their week at Declo.  Soda Springs battled hard in the first set of that game and ended up earning the win going to extra points.  In the second set the Cardinals stumbled as the momentum went to the Lady Hornets.  Declo took the second set tying the match up.  The third set was once again closely contested.  Unfortunately the Lady Cardinals came up a little short losing by just two points.  This put the Lady Cardinals in a must win situation in the fourth set.  Soda Springs put up a good fight but in the end they fell to the Hornets in four sets.

Just twenty four hours later the Lady Cardinals were back on the road this time at district rival West Side.  The Lady Pirates have been giving the Lady Cardinals fits as of late and it was the same in this meeting.  Soda Springs was able to keep it competitive but the Lady Pirates came away with a win in the first set.  The Lady Cardinals bounced back in the second set and were able to come away with the victory.  Unfortunately things went downhill for Soda Springs after that.  The Lady Cardinals dropped the last two sets losing three sets to one.

The Lady Cardinals got just a one day break after the two tough district losses before having to host Marsh Valley.  The Lady Cardinals had already beaten the Lady Eagles earlier in the season and hoped to repeat that feat on Saturday at the Bird Nest.  Soda Springs began the match a little sluggish but the game remained close.  Marsh Valley was able to get just enough of an advantage to take set one over the Cardinals.  The teams kept it close in the second set as well but this time the Lady Cardinals came away victorious.  Now hitting their stride the Cardinals took it to the Eagles in the next two sets winning both in commanding fashion.

The Lady Cardinals will jump back into district play this week in a pair of home games.  Wednesday Soda Springs will host Wendell then turn around and host Malad on Thursday.  These games are important for district seeding.  Come support the girls as they try to grab a couple of district wins this week.
