The Ogden High School volleyball team’s seven game streak came to an end in three sets at Van Meter last Tuesday night.

Van Meter won 25-18, 25-17, and 25-18. Despite serving very accurately, not being quite as efficient on their attack attempts killed Ogden’s chances at winning the game.

Ogden ended up with 23 successful kills but 14 errors. This came on 88 attempts, giving them an efficiency of 10.2%. The Bulldogs did serve very well with an efficiency of 92.2% and 5 aces.

Looking past errors, the Bulldogs had a good night defensively. They had 40 digs total, 14 of them by Miranda Wheelock. They also recorded a total of 10 blocks. Kylie Nichols had 4 of those blocks. She also added on 6 kills with only 1 error on 11 attempts.

Overall this game is just a minor set-back on what is a much-improved Ogden volleyball program. It puts them at 10-6 for the season.

A match-up with Southeast Valley takes place this Thursday at Gowrie.
