From STAFF REPORTS
It seems like the same old story.
Marshall battles their butts off, but they end up falling in the end.
Such was the case on Friday.
Arroyo earned a 25-19, 17-25, 25-23 and 25-13 Mission Valley League victory.
Samantha James was solid as always.
The senior finished with 18 kills and 6 digs.
Aileen Lopez added 25 assists and 8 digs.
Risejah Velasco chipped in 5 kills and 12 digs.
Middle blocker Allison Moore had 5 blocks and 3 kills.
Libero Claire Moats added 7 digs, and opposite hitter Kendall Morton finished with 7 digs.
Marshall will travel to Mountain View on Tuesday at 3:15 to close out the season.
Quotable:
Allison Moore on the game: “We were playing pretty hard, but our passing just wasn’t there today. Our lack of communication could have been improved.”
Allison Moore on the season: “I think my hitting has gotten better with my timing, but my angles can be off at times. I think the team’s drive has changed. Now, people are starting to register what they did wrong and trying to correct it.”
Aileen Lopez on the game: “Everyone tried their best, but there was a lack of communicating. We have to get more hyped and celebrate everything and support each other and have that connection.”
