The Little Snake River Valley (LSRV) Lady Rattlers closed their regular season with two conference wins as they prepare for the 1A West Regional Tournament this weekend.
On Friday, the Lady Rattlers hosted the Encampment Lady Tigers and, on Saturday, LSRV was hosted by the Farson-Eden Lady Pronghorns. In both matches, LSRV came away with a win in three sets.
"I am very proud of how the girls came to play and finished our regular season with two wins," said Head Coach Jenny Evans.
