The Cowgirls hosted the Lady Eagles of Fairfield who came in leading the conference with a 5-0 record and were 10-0 overall in duel matches.
Conrad on the other hand, was in fourth place in the conference with a 1-5 record and sporting a 6-5 overall duel record.
The match, over in three games, was not even close with the Cowgirls ruffling the Eagle feathers by scores of 25-13, 25-17, and 25-10!
In the opening game, there were two ties and one lead change. Amanda Judisch got Conrad an early 3-2 lead off one of three aces the southpaw rapped over from the service line. It was a lead they would not give up.
Kylee Schlepp got to the line with Conrad leading 6-4. The Cowgirls went on a nine point run behind her three aces and a monster kill shot by her sister Katie.
The Eagles tried to rally back and a six-point run had the score at 15-10 until Ashley Beckham put an end to their scoring with a big kill shot. Beckham would also set up a kill shot that Katie Schlepp zipped down the net line, leaving front line Eagle players helpless.
With the opening contest at game point, Kenley King put up a set for Katie Schlepp and she powered it over for the 25-13 win.
The second game featured five ties and two lead changes. Conrad was helped by an ace from Judisch and one from Beckham and then nice team setting.
Judisch dished up a ball for Kylee Schlepp to bang back, another nifty set by Katie Schlepp for Beckham to smash over and at game point, Katie set up King and she ripped a kill shot over for the 25-17 win.
In the rubber game, it was all Conrad who put on a clinic. There were no ties or lead changes.
