The RL Lady Cougars volleyball teams traveled to Bremond Tuesday night in the second match-up of district play. Although RL fought hard, the Lady Tigers were able to pull out the win.

“We didn’t play to our potential,” Said head coach Amanda Spencer. “But, we will have another opportunity in round 2 to beat them at home.”

RL fought hard the first match, but the Lady Tigers defense was able to hold them off. The Lady Cougars fell prey to Bremond’s hard offense and fell behind early in the second set. The Lady Tigers’ energy became too much for RL and Bremond was able to pull away with the win in three sets.

Coach Spencer is looking forward to this game after tweaking the Lady Cougars game plan from Tuesday.

“We plan to control the tempo of the game,” she said. “We need to be aggressive offensively on Friday.”

Marlin currently sits 5th in district while the Lady Cougars are currently in 2nd place. Lady Cougars have come out ahead of the Lady Bulldogs in each of their meetings in the past.

The Lady Cougars will play this Friday night, in Marlin. It will be a varsity only game, beginning at 4:30pm.
