Lady Falcons Push Bronte to the Limit, Fall in FIve

In their best effort of the season, The Lady Falcons played the #10 ranked Bronte Lady Longhorns down to the wire, falling in five hard-fought games. In the first district match of the season, Veribest shocked Bronte by winning the first game 25-23. Timely serving by Emily Lankford and a concerted team effort to control the net set the tone of the match from the opening point. Losing the middle two games, the Lady Falcons rallied to crush the Longhorns 25-17. In a game marked by tenacious front row attacks by the Lankford sisters and Haley Humble, and fine work on the back row by Lauren Moeller and Allie Caldera, Veribest forced a fifth game. The final game went to Bronte 15-11. While losing, the Lady Falcons gained the respect of their fans and the opposing coaches. Tonight, Veribest will travel to Miles to play the Lady Bulldogs at 6:30 pm.
