AKA the Froggies, the Lehi Pioneers finished their Region Four volleyball schedule Oct. 29 by posting a home win against the Riverton Silverwolves, AKA the Silverpups. Lehi defeated the Silverpups by scores of 25-14, 25-14, 25-16.

Even though a Danelle Parady kill put the Silverpups on the scoreboard in Game 1, the Froggies wasted in no time in leaping way ahead of their howling guests. Big hits by McKayla Houghton, Rylin "Lady Everlyn" Roberts, and Faitoto'a Faleao permitted the Froggies to take a 4-1 le4ad. Parady guided her Silverpups within 4-3, but they proved to be no match for Lehi. Courtney Walker, Reesie Tua, and Aly Greenwood held their own against the aggressive hitting of Silverpups like Rachel Davis, 

Tiena Afu, and Alexis Averette. The combined great serving of Sidney White and Cydney Lund gave the Froggies the momentum that they needed to leap way ahead. A Lund ace gave Lehi a 25-14 win in the first game.

In the second game, the Froggies jumped ahead 5-0. A Maddi Averette kill sparked a brief comeback for Riverton. Led by Parady and Afu, the Silverpups howled back within 7-5 and 9-7. However, the Silverpups repeatedly shot themselves in the paw through missing serves and making frequent hitting errors. This allowed Houghton, Roberts, and Faleao to registered a series devastating blows to Riverton. Another Lund ace gave the Froggies one more 25-14 win.

In the third game, Riverton played as a demoralized squad. Even tough the Silverpups pulled within 7-4, Lehi swam far ahead of them. Before long, the Froggies commanded a 17-6 lead. Parady, Afu, and Rachel came up with hits to prolong the third game. However, Riverton couldn't prevent Lehi from completing the three-game sweep. The match ended with Faleao registering a kill.

Houghton led Lehi with 11 kills while Roberts contributed six aces.
