After an eight game winning streak the Magdalena volleyball team fell to Menaul on the road in four Thursday. Their scheduled home game with Gallup Catholic on Saturday wasn’t played due to a no-show by the Lady Panthers due to illness.
Magdalena (10-3, 5-1) will host To’Hajillee (5-3, 2-2) on Friday. The Lady Steers are scheduled to play at Gallup Catholic next at noon on Saturday, Oct. 17.
“Gallup Catholic has always had a good program,” Magdalena coach Liz Olney said. “They’ve always been good in volleyball but we’ve just haven’t had a chance to see them [this season]. We’re doing well. We’ve picked up our intensity. I’m happy with what we’ve accomplished but it’s kind of disappointing with Menaul. I was a let down because we’d already beat them in three [in mid-September]. We just didn’t seem ready to play.”
Olney said that during their eight-game winning streak that they were doing some good things like bringing the ball down, serving well, and the teams hitting has improved. She said the team has been practicing hard and playing hard and not backing off anymore.
“Sometimes we get a little lax in moving to the ball,” Olney said. “These are some of the things we want to work cover. We’re working on our footwork and the fundamentals.”
