FARSON – The Farson Lady Pronghorns won the first set against the Big Piney Lady Punchers during the Oct. 21 away game.

Big Piney’s non-conference rival tied the second set at 15 points before the Lady Punchers shifted into high gear.

Senior Sharianne Brower set the ball for fellow senior Shelby Guest to slam over the net.

Guest delivered a kill, assisted by Brower, widening the Lady Punchers’ lead by 2 points. Freshman Kodee Greene scored a hit. Farson struck out returning a serve by senior Brynne Hoffman.

Freshman libero Lizzy Brandt made a dig and passed the ball for Brower to tip into Lady Pronghorn territory. Farson tangled with the net returning a hit by Guest.

Senior Hannah Runyan tipped over a pair of points, including game point, 25-17.

Maintaining their momentum, the Lady Punchers won the third and fourth set to score a resounding 3-1 victory against Farson.

“The seniors definitely came to play against Farson,” said Head Coach Kinsy Voss. “The girls had a lot of fun running slides and hitting plays. Hannah Runyan read the court so well and manipulated Farson with her offense. We got to try a new rotation we wanted to run before the postseason.”

On Saturday, Oct. 22, Big Piney hosted Pinedale for its final home game. Pinedale scored a 3-0 sweep, although Big Piney threw plenty of punches.

“I think we made Pinedale adjust their offense and made them earn each point,” said Voss.

Entering the postseason as the No. 2 seed in the 2A Southwest Quadrant, the Lady Punchers open the two-day Regional Tournament in Lander with a game against Greybull on Friday, Oct. 28.

“We are ready for Regionals,” said Voss.
