The Bobcats (24-14-4) were never able to get on track offensively, especially serving the ball.

Bridgman was able to take advantage of the unforced Brandywine errors to pull away to the victory.

“Our serving was not great and definitely cost us a couple of the sets,” said first-year Brandywine Coach Emily Zablocki-Kohler. “We will work on fixing that.”

The Bobcats made a small lineup adjustment for the second set, but a better effort was really the difference according to Zablocki-Kohler.

“We played better,” she said. “We put a different middle in. I think we just stepped up our game in the second set.”
