The Lady Lobos headed into this week’s volleyball action with a regular season record of 12-3. Two of those three losses came at the hands of the Payson Lady Longhorns, including a loss last Tuesday in Snowflake. Snowflake entered this final week of the regular season ranked fifth in power points.
After hosting Show Low on Tuesday, the Lobos will play at Blue Ridge on Thursday, Oct. 27. While Show Low is well out of the post-season chase, Blue Ridge entered the week ranked 17th, and will be fighting hard for that 16th and final playoff spot.
In last Tuesday’s home court loss to Payson, the Lobos dropped the first game 25-20 and the second, 25-23. They bounced back in a big way, winning game three 25-10, then balanced the match up with a 25-17 game four win. The fifth and final game went to Payson, 15-11.
Erin Willis led the way in kills with 21. Elle Flake added 11; Hallie Bauer, nine; Talitha Binnie, eight; and Chandler Johnson, one.
Snowflake served six aces led by Flake and Makayla Ramage with two each. Bauer and Shanae Stratton each had one.
Stratton led in digs with 16. Flake added 13; Ramage, 12; Katlyn Papa, 10; and Mandy Stewart, seven.
Stratton led the team with 26 assists. Papa added 13; Johnson, four; Lauren Hunt, three; and Ramage, one.
On Thursday Snowflake cruised to a 3-0 win in Holbrook, defeating the Lady Roadrunners 25-18, 25-16 and 25-19.
