On Friday October 15, the Lowry volleyball team took the court against the West Wendover Wolverines.

The girls made quick work of the Wolverines defeating them by set scores of 25-13, 25-15, and 25-18. They took the lead from the very beginning of the match and never let up.

“It was a good confident booster,” said junior libero Angie Herrera.

“We need to make sure we always have good attitudes and keep our intensity up,” said senior middle hitter Alta Smith.

Junior outside hitters Betsy Guerrero and Kayla Doyle had 8 and 4 kills, respectively, while junior middle hitter Hana Etcheverry chipped in 4 kills and Smith had 2.

Senior Elisa Higbee and junior Heather McElvain did a good job of distributing the offense with Higbee picking up 9 assists and McElvain with 8 assists. Olivia Snow also distributed one assist along with her one kill.

“We played legit; we worked together as a team today and put all our differences aside instead of playing as individuals,” said Herrera.
