In a spirited comeback, the Lady Bombers claimed the third set 25-13, showing resilience and determination. However, Van Buren sealed the match in the fourth set with a 25-21 victory, finishing with a 3-1 win overall.
Several players contributed notable performances for Mountain Home. Jocelyn Green recorded nine kills and five blocks, Maycie Carlson added eight kills, Violet Daugherty managed 20 assists, and Shayn Wickersham led defensively with 24 digs.
Mountain Home will return to action on Tuesday for senior night against Alma in The Hangar, marking their final regular-season match.
