“We did some good things overall and led for most of the first two sets,” Coach Kayli Hurley said. “We just didn’t find a wayto close them out.”

Standouts were Macie Elliott, who had seven kills; Makenzie Anderson who had 11 kills; and Savannah Burdick with a 2.47 serve receive average, out of a possible 3.0.

“We were much more efficient from the service line as Peyton Souvenir, Kennedi LaBerge, Burdick, and Grace Peacoks were at 100 percent.”
