The Greenbrier Lady Panthers lost a three-game volleyball match to the Greenwood Lady Bulldogs on Thursday, 25-13, 25-7, 25-19.
Greenwood has been the Class 5A state runner-up the last three seasons.
Greenbrier’s record stands at 5-2 in regular season play and 1-2 in 5A-West conference play.
Greenbrier Coach Cindy Hartman said that even though her team lost, the Lady Panthers improved on their defense.
“The girls fought hard and looked good on defense,” Hartman said. “We just struggled tremendously with our serve receive against Jill Barrett. Greenwood is ranked fourth in the state and is a very solid team. I was proud of the girls for working hard and improving throughout the night.”
Junior Kayla Waters went nine-for-nine on her serves and added three assists, four kills and four blocks. Senior Summer Richard was five-for-five on her serves and made five blocks. Senior Kalea Hogg finished the match with four kills.
Greenbrier will play in the High School Volleyball Invitational Tournament in Harrison next Monday at Brandon Burlsworth Youth Center.
Regular season play continues on Thursday when the Lady Panthers travel to Morrilton to take on the Morrilton Lady Devil Dogs at 5 p.m.
