The Battle Lake Battlers went 3-2 at the Pelican Rapids tournament Saturday taking second place behind Breckenridge.  The Battlers defeated LPA (26-28, 25-20), Pelican Rapids (25-16, 25-17), and Hillcrest (25-13, 30-28). The Battlers lost to Breckenridge (19-25, 23-25) and Rothsay (10- 25, 25-20). 

“The girls played solid all day with the only exception being the first set against Rothsay,” reported Head Coach Jenny Roisum.  “The Battlers were able to regroup and won the next 3 sets.  I am very pleased how we played today.  That is a lot of volleyball in a short time and the girls responded well.  We continue to learn and improve with each match.”
