Coach Leslie Baldonado’s young Lady Roadrunner volleyball squad is beginning to show improvement despite falling in three games at Ganado Tuesday night.
Holbrook fought hard, but came up short, losing game one 25-20, then pushed the Lady Hornets to overtime in game two before succumbing 27-25. The Roadrunners also broke the 20-point barrier in game three, losing 25-21. The loss puts their early season mark at 0-3 in power point contests.

Adriana Monroe led the way in kills with 10. Carlson added six; Hollins, five; Kendra Monroe, four; Sydney Plumb, two; and Carla Plumb, Alishea Kee, and Brown, one each.
Kee finished with 17 assists. Brown added 11; Destany Begay and Beltran, eight each; Hollins, six; Carlson, Sydney Plumb and Carla Plumb, five each; and Adriana Monroe and Kendra Monroe, two each.
Defensively, Brown paced the team with 18 digs, followed by Beltran and Adriana Monroe with 14 each; Kendra Monroe, eight; Sydney Plumb, seven; Hollins, six; Carlson, five; Carla Plumb, three; and Kee, one.
The Roadrunners will play in the Coconino Tournament on Saturday, Sept. 12, in Flagstaff, then will play on their home court for the first time when Coconino visits on Tuesday, Sept. 15, for a regular season match. Two days later they will entertain Blue Ridge, then will play in their third and final tournament of the season, the Snowflake Invitational scheduled next weekend.
