Boiling Springs volleyball used some strong play at the net and some timely serves to come away with a 3-1 (25-19, 25-16, 23-25, 25-22) victory over Spartanburg on Wednesday night. "It was a much needed win for us tonight," said Bulldogs head coach Allison Elliot. "Hopefully it will help boost our confidence going into region play tomorrow and into next week." Boiling Springs fell behind early in the first set before tying the game at 5-5 and then Bulldogs junior Savannah Page went on a service run that saw the Bulldogs score seven straight points on their way to a 25-17 win. The service run by Page included three aces to go along with her game high seventeen kills and five blocks. "We've been working on serving consistently the last few weeks in practice and it's great to see that translate over to the games," said Elliot. "For Savannah to rattle off some aces and give us a good cushion of a lead there in the first set it freed up the rest of our players and gave us some momentum." In the second set the Bulldogs never trailed as they gained a 2-0 lead by winning the set 25-16. In the third set Spartanburg held a 21-18 lead before the Bulldogs rallied back to tie the game at 21-21 but ended up falling 25-23 to the Vikings. After falling in the third set Boiling Springs came out strong in the fourth set as they didn't trail throughout the set and were only tied once at 11-11. The Bulldogs went on to win the set and the match when Page spiked the ball in the middle of the Vikings defense for a 25-22 set win and a 3-1 match victory. One of the key factors in the Bulldogs victory was the strength of their front line throughout the game as they registered numerous blocks and deflections that didn't allow the Vikings many quality shots. "We have several hitters contributing and it's great seeing all of them having good nights," said Elliot. "Not having to rely on one player to put the ball away is really exciting for our team." The Bulldogs will return to action on Thursday night as they host Gaffney in a region matchup where Boiling Springs will look to avenge a loss to the Indians earlier this season.
