Volleyball: Wolfpack swarms Bulldogs

Kaylee Fritz had 33 set assists and two blocks in the 25-18, 31-29, 25-18 victory. Mohl’s efforts out of the middle helped the Wolfpack survive the tough second set.

“Butte dug really well and passed really well,” Glacier coach Christy Harkins said. “And I was proud of our hitters for continuing to attack aggressively.”

Morgan Hernandez had 29 digs and Sidney Gulick served up two aces for the Pack.
