Tuesday was Senior Night and the last time seven Conrad players would hit the home court in volleyball uniforms.
The Cascade Badgers were in town and were victims of a, this is the way to play, clinic.
Conrad came on to win the match in straight games by scores of 25-15, 25-10, and 25-22.
In the first set, Amanda Judisch behind good play from the backcourt players and at the net, powered over an ace to get the Cowgirls a 6-2 lead.
Next up to the service line was Kylee Schlepp and she powered over an ace to get the team up to a 9-3 lead.
Following her was her sister Katie Schlepp and she fashioned a nine point run behind kill shots from Judisch, blocked shots at the net by Kenley King and Judisch and nice setting by Ashley Beckham.
In the end, Cassie Peters was at the line for the last four points and was helped by some nice line play at the net by Beckham.
There were no ties or lead changes in the game.
In game two, there was one tie and one lead change and it was all Conrad.
Kylee Schlepp smashed back a kill shot that no one would want to try and stop, Katie Schlepp boomed back a big shot as well, Kaytlin Fowler slapped back a nifty kill shot, Silvernale blocked incoming balls and the team galloped to a 25-10 win.
In the rubber game, the Cowgirls, early on, served, powered and blocked their way to at 25-22 win.
Kelsey Zomer dropped in ace serves, Fowler did the same, Beckham was sharp at the line, Judisch blocked shots, the Schlepp sisters ripped and bumped the ball back, King banged back a kill shot and Silvernale stopped some incomings shots as the Cowgirls jumped out to a 22-16 lead.
The Lady Badgers kept hanging around and chipped away and all of sudden a big lead evaporated Cascade had worked their way back to a 22-22 tie.
However, King ripped back a kill shot to get the Cowgirls back in front, 23-22. Beckham followed with another kill shot to get them to game point and Kylee Schlepp tapped back a shot for the win.
The Cowgirls put over nine aces. Kylee Schlepp dumped in three and Judisch and Zomer each had two.
Of the nine blocked shots, Judisch had four, King two with the Schlepp sisters and Fowler having one each.
The team had 28 digs. Zomer was out front with nine, King had five, Silvernale, Heather Newmiller and the Schlepp girls all had three each.
Katie Schlepp smacked back 9-33 kill shots, Kylee was right behind her with seven, Judisch punched back five and King did the same.
Of the 19 assists, Katie Schlepp dished up eight, Beckham seven and King two.
The District tournament begins in Choteau on Friday.
