BEDFORD – Bedford North Lawrence pushed Bloomington North to the limit before falling in five sets during high school volleyball action on Saturday.
The Cougars rallied to win the final two sets during a tense 25-20, 21-25, 11-25, 25-19, 17-15 triumph.
“BNL volleyball played an outstanding game today,” BNL coach Whitney Carroll said. “I am so proud of this team. Every girl worked hard, did their job, and did it well today.
“We served well, passed really well. North is a tough team with big hitters and some pretty tough servers. I’m so proud of the way we fought today. We were definitely having fun. Ended with the loss but proud of our fight.”
Sammie Gratzer paced the Stars with 17 kills, Camryn Anderson totaled 12 kills and 18 digs, and Kendlyn Alvey had 21 digs on the back line.
The Stars (3-2) will visit Edgewood on Monday.
