After an early scare losing the first set 25-22 the Cowgirls went on to sweep the next three to give them the win over Flower Mound and move on to the next round of playoffs.

Mistakes were costly in the first set giving up an early lead eventually falling behind by five points after a quick comeback attempt was squashed by Flower Mound blockers.

Coppell picked up their game in set two coming from behind to win 25-22.

The Cowgirls really went off in the third and fourth sets keeping offensive and defensive miscues to a minimum and built sizable leads that the Jaguars couldn’t recover from. Blocking from freshman setter Kylie Pickrell and junior Erica Bohannan outside hitter were key to maintaining Coppell’s lead. The Cowgirls won the last two sets by a score of 25-12 and 25-19.

Senior libero Kristen Dickerson performed well to keep her team in the game not letting anything drop and also running after a few long balls to keep Coppell in the game.

“I’m really proud of these girls,” Coach Julie Green said, “We played tight at first but settled into the game nicely in the second set. We just want to hold the intensity better and be more consistent before we play again Friday.”

Colleyville Heritage swept Midlothian on Tuesday and will be Coppell’s next opponent on Friday. Location has yet to be announced.
