Lady Eagles Soar Over Lady Rams

Posted in

The #3 ranked Lady Eagles from Tongue River may have arrived in Big Horn by bus but then they took to the air and soared over the Lady Rams in three sets 25-13, 25-16, 25-13. When the final point was scored in the third set the TR players and fans simultaneously erupted in celebration - they had not only swept the Lady Rams on the day but almost on the year. Big Horn's only win against the Lady Eagles was a second set 25-20 win back on Sept. 6th. Next up for the Lady Rams is a road trip to Sundance on Saturday while the Lady Eagles entertain Sundance on October 12th and Riverside on the 13th. Then both teams make the long bus trip to Cheyenne East for the Regional Tournament on October 19-20.
