Buffalo volleyball splits home triangular
Most coaches will tell you that they see the biggest improvement from the first matches of the season to the second date when they play.Perhaps that is the way Garden City High School girls’ volleyball coach Trista Bailey saw her team’s split of a triangular on Thursday night at The Garden with Western Athletic Conference foes Liberal and Great Bend.In their opening match with Liberal’s Reds, the Buffs stormed out to a 10-1 lead and were never headed in a 25-9 romp before rallying from a 17-20 deficit in the second set to prevail 25-22.Against Great Bend, the defending WAC champions, it was just a reversal from the Liberal match at the visiting Panthers hit the Buffs with a 7-1 start, led 12-4 and 16-5 before the hosts made a bit of a mini-run only to drop a 17-25 set to begin the final best 2-of-3 match.Perhaps the mini-run in the late stages of Set 1 enabled the Buffs to begin Set 2 in a hotly-contest battle.
