The Baker volleyball
team’s month-long, 11-match
winning streak ended Satur-
day, Oct. 9 when the Bulldogs
lost three matches at the
Powder Valley tournament.
Baker, 13-5 and ranked
sixth in the Class 4A ranks,
lost to Nyssa, Burns and
Powder Valley.
Baker started the tourna-
ment by taking on Nyssa for
the fi rst time this season.
Baker won the fi rst set 25-19,
but Nyssa (11-9) rallied to
win the next three, 25-22,
25-21, 25-19, handing Baker
its fi rst loss since a sweep
against Weiser on Sept. 8 in
the Baker gym.
Baker then played Burns,
the top-ranked Class 3A team
with a record of 21-3. One of
those three losses came at
the hands of the Bulldogs on
Sept. 7 in the Baker gym.
Baker again won the fi rst
set, 25-18.
But the Hilanders
responded to win the next
three, 25-20, 25-16 and 25-16,
to avenge its earlier loss to

the Bulldogs.
Baker completed its
tournament schedule with
another rematch, this one
against the host Badgers,
which are 17-8 and ranked
sixth in Class 1A.
Baker swept the Badgers
in the teams’ season-opening
match on Aug. 26 in the
Baker gym.
Saturday’s rematch was
much more competitive. The
Badgers won the fi rst two
sets, but Baker bounced back
to win two straight, 25-22 and
26-24.
In the deciding fi fth set,
the teams were tied at 15
before the Badgers scored
two straight points to win the
match.
“We made too many mis-
takes, and we were not men-
tally ready to compete,” Baker
coach Ali Abrego said. “It’s all
on us at this point, and we
need to show up and prove
we deserve to win league/host
a state playoff game.”
Baker has two matches
remaining on its regular
season schedule, both on the
road. The Bulldogs travel to
La Grande on Thursday, Oct.
14 for a 6:30 p.m. match, and
to Milton-Freewater on Oct.
21 to take on Mac-Hi, also at
6:30 p.m.

“I thought he played tre-

Washington State de-

the second half, after trail-

“We needed more out of
our pass game because the
numbers were on our side,”
Rolovich said. “We did a
really nice job on the second
half on third down conver-
