A Sneak Peak into Bedford Volleyball

Bedford volleyball is going for the gold this year after their first season in division I last year.  The bulldogs came into the season last year with predictions to not pose a big threat with very little expectations and to lose a majority of their season.  But, after the intimidating season last year placing the bulldogs in ninth place out of twenty teams left the Bedford team expected to be a great competitor this year.  

The Bulldogs although a young team last year with the starting squad being composed of mostly juniors is back this year to make a statement with the starting team returning as championship hungry seniors.  The  Bulldogs being led this year by team captains Becca Foti and Julia Elmendorf have many tricks up their sleeves to completely throw other teams off their game.  With the debut into the 2013 season game against Nashua North Hannah Koehler, the starting senior middle blocker, hit her way to 24 kills which is an absolutely ridiculous amount and stunned Nashua North.  But no team can have a good offense without a good defense, which shows the true value of the Bulldogs back row players composed of the libero Chandler Lake and the outsides Becca Foti, and Kendal Sonovick who had an astonishing 27 digs in the past game.  The Bulldogs have started off their season proving to be a true fighting competitor stacked with skilled and tough players eager for the win.

Bedford will not go down without a fight this year are capable of being a championship winning team.  The Bulldogs time and time again have shown to be relentless when facing tough competition and rowdy fans rooting against them.  Although with a loss in the first game of the 2013 season Bedford proved to be an intense competitor while taking the match to five sets and fighting for every point.  The bulldogs will push to have a home seed in playoffs this year and take their season to the top with the hopes of a championship banner hanging in their home gym.
