ROSEBURG – The Roseburg volleyball team overcame a sluggish start to roll past South Eugene 3-1 on Thursday night at Stewart W. Robertson Memorial Gymnasium.

An injury to a starter forced the Indians to rearrange the rotations and it appears it might have caused the team to falter in the opening set 25-8 loss to the Axemen. Roseburg rallied back, though, dominating the second and third sets, winning 25-15 and 25-18.

In the fourth and final set, the Indians again had to fight from behind. South Eugene jumped out to a 10-5 lead and later held a 13-8 advantage, but the Indians fought back. Roseburg tied the match at 23-all and claimed the next two points to seal the deal.

The win keeps Roseburg undefeated in Southwest Conference play. Up next, the Indians will visit Willamette on Tuesday.

The Sutherlin Lady Bulldogs opened up Sky-Em League play with a visit to No. 2 Sisters on Thursday. The defending-league champion Outlaws proved to be too much for the Bulldogs, winning 25-20, 25-12, 25-14.

The loss drops Sutherlin to 6-4 on the year and 0-1 in Sky-Em League matches. The Bulldogs will next visit Cottage Grove on Tuesday.
