SIOUX FALLS The Brookings volleyball team got back in the win column on Tuesday night as the Bobcats swept Sioux Falls Roosevelt on the road.
We hit really well tonight and got a lot of players involved in our offense, said Brookings head coach Erinn Thomas. Our balance and energy made a big difference, and everyone contributed to the win.
The victory snapped a nine-match losing streak for the Bobcats. They won by scores of 25-21, 25-23 and 25-18.
It felt great to get back in the win column, and Im proud of how our team responded, Thomas said. Im also proud of our sub-varsity teams for all earning sweeps tonight too. It was a full-program effort and a really positive night for Bobcat Volleyball.

Thomas said she wants her team to build off this as they head into the weekend and the final week of the regular season.
We can keep building our confidence and communication heading into the weekend, which gives us a lot of matches and a great opportunity to keep growing, finding our rhythm, and playing with consistency as the regular season winds down.
