The Skyridge girls volleyball team got the fall campaign started with split results in the first week of action. In back-to-back contests, they swept the Panthers but then fell to the highly-regarded Vikings in a match that was closer than the result makes it look.
Aug. 11: Skyridge 3, West 0
Opening at home, the Falcons fashioned a comfortable 25-20, 25-14, 25-19 victory to begin the season with a non-league match.
In the absence of their top returning player, Skyridge was led by a pair of senior hitters. Anzlee Holt tallied 11 kills with two aces, 18 digs and 17 serve-receives while Emma White added 11 kills, two aces, six digs and 14 serve-receives.
Junior middle blocker Lucy Meck tallied seven kills and two block-assists. Junior middle blocker Emmie Mahe contributed five kills with two block-assists and sophomore setter Sienna Warner provided five kills with two aces and 18 assists. Sophomore hitter Paisley Fuller laid down four kills.
