The Lady Bison spent more time on the bus going to and from Onalaska than it took for the Junior Varsity and Varsity squads to defeat the Lady Wildcats last Tuesday. The Junior Varsity cruised to a 25-10, 25-12 win in the first match. The Varsity wrapped up the evening with a 25-15, 23-25, 25-18, 25-19 victory.

Freshmen Raven Lott and Tionna Adams led the campaign for the junior varsity club, serving for fourteen and nine points, respectively. Erica Jones totaled seven points while Heather Sigert and Laken McCabe added three each. Reagan Read managed one. Emily Grissett led the offense with six kills.

In the varsity match, Buffalo jumped out to big set one win, but unforced errors allowed Onalaska to stay in the match the rest of the way. The Lady Wildcats claimed the second set before the Lady Bison clinched the match with wins in sets three and four.
