Published 11:48 pm Thursday, October 6, 2011

The Blooming Prairie volleyball team played a whole lot of defense as it beat United South Central on the road Thursday.

Three players racked up 20 digs or more as BP won by scores of 25-20, 20-25, 25-15, 25-18.

β€œOn Tuesday we were working on a new rotation for the first time and tonight the girls seemed to trust one another better,” BP head coach Gina McLaughlin said. β€œ Our floor defense was much stronger than it was on Tuesday. We knew that we needed to tighten up our passing and I was proud to see the team work together to do that.”
