Bristol Eastern knew they were in for a tough night Wednesday when Conard, rated number four in the state, invaded the Lancer gym. The Lancers played the Red Wolves tough throughout the evening, but eventually fell to the powerful Conard hitters, 3 sets to 1.
The score in sets was:
Set 1: 18-25
Set 2: 18-25
Set 3: 25-16
Set 4: 16-25
Conard had several strong hitters, and Zahara Quraishi led the Red Wolves with 14 kills, 10 digs, and 2 aces. Nina Buezynski had a tremendous floor game with 32 assists, 6 digs, and 2 aces.
The Lancers’ Emily Valentine had a strong night with 4 aces, 1 kill, and 10 digs. Lauren Bender had 12 kills and 11 digs, Gabby Caucci had 2 aces, 4 kills, and 6 digs, and Adrianna Reay had 2 aces, 6 kills, and 7 digs.
BE’s record drops to 10-5, while Conard improves to 13-2.
The Lancers face another enormous task today as they host Southington at 5:15.
All TBE readers, supporters and donors
The Bristol Edition will be limiting the number of stories non-members and free readers may access each week. This decision is based on our financial projections and, most certainly, to remind people that TBE is serious about providing accurate, timely and thorough reporting for Bristol. To do this we have devised a financial support structure that makes unlimited access extremely affordable, beginning with a $6 monthly donation.
- Non-members will be able to access eight (8) articles per week.
- Free readers and people who have subscribed by email will be able to access eight (8) articles per week.
- Donors and financial supporters will have unlimited access as long as they log in.
Note: Donors may have to contact TBE if they find they are being limited, since we will need to set up a membership account for you. Email editor@bristoledition.org for instructions. Sorry for any inconvenience. People with financial difficulties may write editor@bristoledition.org to be considered for free access.
