Volleyball game: Dixon vs. Capital Christian

The Lady Rams had a home volleyball game against Capital Christian on September 26, 2011.  This was a very difficult match for Dixon.

The Lady Rams went into this game expecting it to be a tough match but were looking forward to playing against them.  They saw this as an opportunity to prove themselves. Since the begining of their season, Dixon had been anticipating Capital Christian to be their biggest competition in league.  They had seen the talent of the team and how tall some of the girls were so they were expecting it to be a hard game.
