The Bulldogs were led by Hailey Borgmeyer’s 32 kills. Mallory Wilhelm finished with 28 and Lexi Groe had 27.

“We have great offensive balance,” said Bulldogs coach Jim Boehmer. (Hailey) and (Lexi) can destroy the ball, but we also have other players developing and stepping up.”

Robyn Bowman finished the day with 97 assists.

“I really feel (Robyn) is one of the best of her days,” Boehmer said. “She really knows how to handle our offense and she is set on becoming a better setter. She does a great job of running our tempo.”

Dana Baumann finished with 32 digs and Borgmeyer added 23.

“We got better Saturday,” Boehmer said. “We have been working on getting out of the gate better in matches, and we were able to accomplish that.”
