Snowflake’s Lady Lobos have opened the 2021 volleyball season with two wins. On Aug. 31, they traveled to face American Leadership Academy Gilbert and came home with a hard fought 3-2 win.
The Lobos dropped the first game 25-27, but came back strong to win the second 25-10. They took a 2-1 lead with a 26-24 game three win. Game four was close as well with ALA winning it 25-23 setting up a fifth and final game. In the fifth the Lobos prevailed 15-9 to win the match.
Macee LeSueur led the team in kills with 20. She was followed closely by Addy Fisher with 17. Kadee Penrod served up 5 aces. Lily Lundberg and Addy Fisher each had 3 blocks. LeSueur led with 23 digs. Braxton Jones added 17, Rylee Wengert 11, and Kimberlee Eich helped with 10. Setter Braxton Jones led the team with 42 assists.
Two days later on Sept. 2, the Lobos traveled the other direction to take on a good Tuba City team. Tuba was projected to be a strong team this year, and they may well be, however, the Lobos made short work of them winning the match in three games, 25-11, 25-15 and 25-14.
LeSueur led with 15 kills and Fisher added 10. Penrod and Eich each served 4 aces. Rylee Wengert was credited with 11 digs. Braxton Jones led with 15 assists and Eich added 11 helpers.
