Bridget is getting attention in the local Blast Zone Media articles as she leads the team at the net with kills and blocks:
Lumberjills turned away twice to open season
The R.A. Long volleyball team is still searching for its first win after a pair of early non-league contests. The Lumberjills lost in five sets at W.F. West in their season-opener last Wednesday before being swept at home by Kalama on Thursday.
“Despite the 3-0 sweep, it was a highly competitive, back-and-forth match,” first-year RAL head coach Maya White said after falling to the Chinooks.
Bridget Woodruff led the Jills with 10 kills and seven blocks against Kalama, while Hailey Simon-Felix turned in 10 assists. Becca Montgomery added three kills and four blocks for R.A. Long.
The Jills were even more competitive in Chehalis in their season debut, winning the opening set in extra points before fading late. R.A. Long fell by scores of 24-26, 25-21, 22-25, 25-21 and 15-9.
Bridget Woodruff posted a team-high 15 kills to go with five blocks in the Mint City. Erica Espinoza added 13 digs to go with a half dozen kills for the Jills, and Hailey Brewer led the RAL defense with 16 digs.
R.A. Long (0-2) will play at Black Hills on Tuesday at 7 p.m. The Lumberjills will open 2A GSHL play next Tuesday at Woodland.
