SHEFFIELD — The Bradford volleyball team won in straight sets (25-22, 25-14, 25-13) over Sheffield Thursday for its first win of the year.
Erica Marshall racked up six kills for the Lady Owls, and Laney Kahle added 13 assists. Alex Asp and Sarie Yohe each had three kills for Bradford (1-1), which hosts Ridgway Tuesday.
“It was a good bounce-back,” Bradford head coach Steven Daniels said following the victory. “Our defense really picked up this game, especially in the back row. Passes were a lot more crisp, too. Our front has been solid the last two games, but it was nice to come together as a team to get a win tonight.”
