The Manitou Springs volleyball team continues to fight valiantly in key matches, but it doesn’t always end up on the winning side.
The Mustangs dropped a five-set match 18-25, 25-23, 16-25, 25-13, 17-15 to Vanguard on Oct. 4. A 2-1 set lead couldn’t hold up as the Coursers battled back to take a crucial Tri-Peaks League match.
The Mustangs (9-7 overall, 3-3 Tri-Peaks) did come away with a 3-0 win at Salida on Sept. 30. Grace Allen put her offensive talents on display, leading the Mustangs with 15 kills in the match. Teryn Thime and Ayla Flett each added six in the effort. Norah Jorstad led the team with 11 digs.
The Mustangs head to La Junta on Thursday, Oct. 6, and will host James Irwin on Monday, Oct. 10.
