[Families] actually having the opportunity to have their kids on the field with us is the most important aspect,” Ben Lundt said.](https://lancerfeed.press/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/IMG_6823-1200x800.jpg)

After tough first loss, girls volleyball bounces back
September 1, 2016
The first few games for girls volleyball have come and gone and the team has had a solid start to the season.
Their first challenge came against the St. Joseph’s Angels and the team struggled to compete in that game. They never got into a flow and right when Lafayette would come close, the Angels would go off with a string of points. The Lady Lancers ended up losing that game 16-25, 15-25.
Despite losing their opening game, Lafayette came back strong with two compelling victories. One against Parkway West, 25-4, 25-19, and the other against Villa Duchesne, 25-18, 25-14.
“We didn’t have the energy and effort that we expect from ourselves during our first match,” Head Coach Zach Young said. “However, we’ve improved a lot over the last two matches with wins over Parkway West and defending Class 3 Champion Villa Duchesne.”
The teams next game will be against Northwest Cedar Hill on Sept. 1 at home starting at 5:30 p.m.
