The L.V. Rogers senior girls volleyball team has their second title of the season.

The Bombers rallied in the final against Merritt to win a tournament in Salmon Arm last weekend.

LVR lost the first set 16-25, but came back with aggressive play to take the next two sets 25-9 and 15-9 win the finale.

Earlier in the tournament, the Bombers defeated Ashcroft’s Desert Sands 25-11, 25-12; Enderby’s A.L. Fortune 25-20, 25-6; and Salmon Arm’s King’s Christian 25-12, 25-9 in pool play.

The next day the team downed Barrier 25-15, 25-13. In the semifinal LVR struggled with consistent passing and serving, but still held on to defeat King’s Christian 25-21, 25-17 in a rematch.

LVR previously won a tournament in Trail earlier this month. Its next game will be Nov. 16th when the Bombers face off against Trail’s J.L. Crowe in Nelson at the AAA zone finals.
