The Riverside Bulldogs volleyball team had their season come to an end on Tuesday night with a 3-0 loss to Springville in the 1A State Quarterfinals. The top-seeded Orioles won 25-8, 25-8, 25-17 to advance to the semifinals on Wednesday. Riverside ends the year with their first ever trip to the state tournament.

The Orioles closed out the first set with 7 straight points and used a 9-point run early in the 2nd to control the match early. Riverside played better point for point with the Orioles in the third and the Lady Dawgs were within 16-13. The Orioles then put together five straight points to pull away and ultimately take the match.

Springville was led by a phenomenal night from senior Kennedy Breitfelder who finished with 14 kills and 6 digs. Ashlynne Zaruba had 14 digs and Nia Howard had 29 assists for the Orioles. Springville improved to 38-3 on the season and will play again in the Semifinals at 6:00 p.m. on Wednesday.

Riverside was led by 7 kills and 8 digs from senior Veronica Andrusyshyn. Fellow senior Mack Olmstead-Mitchell had 5 kills and a block. Sophia Taylor had 5 kills and 4 digs while Ayla Richardson set up 16 assists. The Lady Dawgs end their historic season with a record of 33-6.

Riverside senior Mack Olmstead-Mitchell was disappointed with the outcome but grateful for the experience.
