At the finish line, post-race festivities await, The Lady Outlaws fell in four sets to Crook County (CC) on Tuesday, August 28, in their pre-season opener, but bounced back two days later with a straight-set win at home over Marist. On Tuesday, the first- home-game jitters got the best of the Outlaws, and they lost to the visiting Cowgirls with scores of 21-25, 27-25, 17-25, and 23-25. The first two games were very back-and-forth with both teams committing unforced errors, and having a difficult time getting into a rhythm. Sisters never found their groove in the third set, com- mitted an excessive amount of unforced errors, and only put down two kills. In the final game, the Outlaws came out strong and took a 14-11 lead. They were able to main- tain the lead and found them- selves ahead 23-21 before Crook County served four straight points to close out the match. Sisters finished with 23 kills on the night, eight from Sam Silva, and seven from Kendra Sitz. “I think the girls feel the pressure to repeat the suc- cess of last year, despite los- ing five seniors,” said Coach Rory Rush. “We opened up against a tough CC team that finished fourth last year at state. We found ourselves making too many unforced errors, and never got into a rhythm.” Two days later, the Outlaws turned it around and eas- ily swept Marist with scores featuring a special congrat- ulatory cocktail, gourmet food and music. Half mara- thon finishers all receive a cool tee and commemorative belt buckle, while 5k finish- ers receive race socks and swag. The Happy Girls Run Series is recognized across the Northwest and beyond as being an inspiring run- ning series that is fun for women from all lifestyles and fitness backgrounds to get together with their friends, sisters, mothers, daughters and even strangers to get out and realize their goals For more information, visit www.layitoutevents. com.
