Box Score EPHRAIM, Utah (October 20, 2018) -- Three weeks ago, the Snow College volleyball team lost a five-set thriller to Salt Lake Community College in Salt Lake. Today, it was no surprise when the two teams battled to a 2-2 tie and ended up in a fifth and deciding set. This time, however, it was the fifth-ranked Badgers upsetting the third-ranked Bruins, 3-2. Snow claimed the victory on Sophomore Day with a 15-12 victory in the fifth set.
"This is a fun rivalry," Snow College head coach Jeff Reynolds said. "We don't have to do much to get our kids excited for games like this. I couldn't be more proud of our team for the way we hung in there today and battled our way through the match. After a tough loss the other night, it was nice to see our team come together and defeat one of the top teams in the country."
