For the second time in as many outings, the Brownwood Lady Lions were upended in five sets by the Burnet Lady Bulldogs. After falling in five sets at home on Senior Night Friday, the Lady Lions dropped a 25-21, 22-25, 25-23, 22-25, 15-8 decision at Burnet Tuesday.
“It was a hard fought game against a scrappy team,” said Lady Lions second-year head coach Allison Smith. “I wish we would limit our own errors and not give away so many points. We need to get back to playing our tempo game and not allowing our opponent to set the tone of the game. We have to seize the big moments and I have full faith that we will get back to doing that before district.”
Katelyn Windham tallied 12 kills to pace the Brownwood offense followed by 10 from Ashlyn Storm, nine from Olivia Fowler, seven from Jaylen Savage, five each from Kylie Morris and Tessa Goodwin, four from Gracie Boswell and one by Caitlyn Moody.
Goodwin distributed 46 assists while Moody and Becca Church were credited with one apiece.
Fowler’s four aces were a team-high followed by Savage with three, Goodwin with two, and Boswell and Windham with one each.
Moody logged 49 digs trailed by Windham with 23, Fowler with 22, Church with 16, Boswell with 12, Goodwin with nine, Savage with six, Morris with three, and Storm with two.
Savage tallied six blocks, Storm added four, Morris and Goodwin collected two each and Windham chipped in one.
Brownwood (6-3) is off until Tuesday, Sept. 15 when it faces San Angelo Central and Abilene Wylie in San Angelo beginning at 6 p.m.
