In the first two games the Bobcats finished with a negative hitting percentage. The Lady Lions had their best performance in game two when they hit .244, but it didn't matter, as the Bobcats never got it together. The Bobcats put up a fight in the third game, but it was to late as the Lady Lions closed out the match with a 16-14 win. It was a tough lesson to learn, but I think reality set in this weekend. The Bobcats committed 59 errors and had only 83 kills in the two matches.
Nobody feels good about that.
Setter Nicky Rose is still fighting a knee injury, and will not play in the Bobcats' last three home matches this season, in hopes that she will be rested and healthy for the Southland Conference Tournament Nov. 20. We are going to keep her out of matches and practice. Stephanie Welter will play for Rose in the final three home games, and Chisum believes she will help the Bobcats win. Everyone else will have to step up their game as well. The loss of Rose is tough on the Bobcats, but Chisum believes that her team can overcome the difficulty.
