Bulldogs Lose to Top Seeded Lewis-Clark
Saturday, November 15 2008
The Bulldogs saw their season end with a 0-3 loss to top seeded and regular season champion Lewis-Clark State in the quarterfinal round of the 2008 Frontier Conference volleyball tournament.

With its three big hitters combing for a hitting percentage of above .500, LCSC rolled to a 25-15, 25-16, 25-19 win over eighth-seeded Montana Western.

The win lifted LCSC, ranked No. 14 in the NAIA, to 26-2 on the season and into Saturday's semifinals.

Montana Western, which finished the season at 3-22, did erase a 10-point deficit in the third set and cut the margin to five before LCSC put it away.

"L-C is a great team and we knew that coming in," Montana Western coach Katie Howells said. "We're just so young and inexperienced. But I definitely saw some good things tonight."

Western, which had a roster of two juniors, four sophomores and four freshmen, had a problem stopping LCSC's big three of FC Player of the Year Anile Clemente, fellow FC all-conference first-team selection Julie Maciboba, and Austyn Lewis. The three combined for 34 kills.


Courtney Nicholls led Western with nine kills, while Maria Peterson had 19 assists.
