Galena had to hit the road for their first game and it wasn't the result they were hoping for. They took a 2-0 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Neodesha Blue Streaks on Tuesday. The result was an unpleasant reminder to the Bulldogs of the 2-0 defeat they experienced in the pair's previous head-to-head fixture back in September of 2024.
Galena may have fallen short, but they were sure consistent: they scored 18 points in every single set they played. Once all was said and done, the final score wound up at 25-18, 25-18.
Weslynn Russell paced Galena's offense, picking up nine kills. Russell got some help from Rylie Myer and her eight assists. Russell was also solid from the service line: she led the team with two aces.
Neodesha can attribute much of their success to Dalia Johnson, who had eight digs and two aces. That's the most aces Johnson has posted since back in October of 2024.
Coincidentally, Galena and Neodesha will both be playing Frontenac the next time they take the court. The Bulldogs will host the Raiders at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday, while the Blue Streaks will play them later in the day, at 7:00 p.m.
