The Lady Scots were all business as they downed the Lady Raiders in three straight games, 25-11, 25-12, 25-14.
While things didn’t go as well for Richmond coach Michelle Denson’s squad Thursday night, she remains optimistic about the Lady Raiders’ chances in the upcoming Southeastern Conference tournament.
“We came out flat tonight, and Scotland always plays a very physical up-tempo match,” Denson said.
“After coming off the win last night against Cape Fear with a much slower playing style, the Lady Scots were just hammering their shots home at a very fast pace,” Denson added.
“They have very strong hitters when they line up to take a shot, even their backcourt can put the ball over the net with great precision and strength,” Denson said.
“We will be ok for the conference tournament; we just weren’t prepared for the physical fast play of Scotland.”
The Lady Raiders now wait for the news of who they will play in the first round of the tournament.
Coach Denson expectx to face the Lumberton Lady Pirates in Lumberton, but Richmond will prepare as if it will have to play any of the teams in the Southeastern Conference.
Before Thursday night’s match the Lady Raiders were fourth in the conference standings, with Lumberton and Purnell Swett right behind them.
Whomever the Lady Raiders face, coach Denson will have her squad ready and waiting to attempt a playoff push.

LAURINBURG-After a successful showing from the Richmond Lady Raiders volleyball
squad on their senior night festivities against Cape Fear, the Scotland Lady
Fighting Scots turned the tables on the Lady Raiders during their senior night.
The Lady Fighting Scots were all business as they downed the Lady Raiders in
three straight games by a score of 25-11, 25-12, and 25-14.
While things didn’t go as well for Coach Michelle Denson’s squad tonight, she
remained optimistic about their chances in the conference tournament.
“We came out flat tonight, and Scotland always plays a very psychical up-tempo
match,” Denson said.
“After coming off the win last night against Cape Fear with a much slower
playing style, the Lady Scots were just hammering their shots home at a very
fast pace,” Denson added.
The style in which the Lady Fighting Scots were playing was very fast paced and
anyone who got their chance at the ball were taking quality shots against the
Raiders and making them count.
“They have very strong hitters when they line up to take a shot, even their
backcourt can put the ball over the net with great precision and strength,”
Denson said.
“We will be ok for the conference tournament; we just weren’t prepared for the
physical fast play of Scotland.”
The Lady Raiders will return home, where they will wait for the news of who
they will play in the first round of the tournament.
Coach Denson is expecting to face the Lumberton Lady Pirates in Lumberton, but
will prepare as they will have to play any of the teams in the Southeastern
Conference.
Before entering the match, the Lady Raiders were fourth in the conference
standings, with Lumberton and Purnell Swett right behind them.
Whomever the Lady Raiders face, coach Denson will have her squad ready and
waiting to attempt a playoff push.
J.V. Lady Raiders Blanked
The j.v. Lady Raiders were sent home empty handed once again on Thursday
afternoon as the Lady Scots sent them home with two straight loses, taking the
match 2 games to 0.
The j.v. Lady Raiders seemed to lack communication as they were defeated by
scores of 25-7, 25-12.
This was the final match for the j.v. Lady Raiders as they will have to wait a
full year to return to the volleyball court to try to improve on their
performance from this year.
