The Bulldogs volleyball team went on the road and faced one of the top programs in Western Nebraska, and while Alliance started off well, Scottsbluff pulled away in the final three sets in a 3-1 win.

Alliance and Scottsbluff battled it out in a tight 1st set, and the Bulldogs arguably played their best set of the season in a 25-20 win over the highly rated Bearcats.
