The University of Montana Western volleyball team staged a big comeback, but fell just a little short Saturday in a five-set loss in Butte to Montana Tech.
Pushed to the brink after losing the match’s first two sets, 23-25 and 15-25, the Bulldogs rallied to take the third and fourth sets, 25-17 and 25-22, before falling 7-15 in the fifth and final.
Emmah Peterson led the Bulldogs’ frontline attack and defense with 11 kills along with 13 blocks (5 solo and 8 block assists)—a category in which she ranks second in the Frontier Conference.
