A total of just over $1,900 dollars was raised to fight breast cancer. A big and loud crowd was on hand to cheer on the teams, mostly clad in symbolic pink. 

The Lady Bulldogs fell to 2-18 and 0-8 in the NWC with the 25-13, 25-20, 25-22 defeat.

Spencerville improved to 11-8 and 2-6 in the NWC to avoid a last-place tie with the Bulldog girls and finish tied for seventh with the sweep.
