Lady Raiders defeat Kimball in three sets

The Sidney Lady Raiders volleyball team closed out the regular season Tuesday hosting Kimball.

The Lady Raiders swept the Longhorns 3-0: 25-10, 25-9 and 25-17.

Lady Raiders coach Lu Howard said the team entered the game expecting Kimball to be easier competition. She used the game as an opportunity to play team members who don’t get as much play time as more seasoned members. The Lady Raiders defeated Kimball the first time the two teams met, Sept. 21, in two sets, 25-9 and 25-17.

Sidney has earned 780 kills during the season, compared to Kimball’s 410. Sidney also had 125 total blocks...
