Volleyball Round-Up: Magdalena Hot; Socorro, Quemado Searching For Rhythm

By Polo C' de Baca
The Lady Steers of Magdalena are boasting a (13-3) season after defeating To’Hajillee on Friday in four, Temple Academy on Saturday in three and Alamo in three on Tuesday.
Magdalena is scheduled to play Quemado on Thursday but because of illness the game may not be played. On Saturday the Lady Steers travel to play Gallup Catholic at noon and on Tuesday the Lady Steers will host the Lady Cougars of Alamo at 4 p.m.
Socorro
Socorro’s volleyball team was on the road this week winning at Thoreau in three then losing to Hatch in five in a back and forth contest.
Socorro (7-7) will host Cobre (6-6) at 4 p.m. Saturday. The Lady Warriors lost to Cobre in four in their first game of the season in late September.
“We’ll take every game one game at a time and try to pull out the win,” Socorro coach Marleen Greenwood said.
Socorro started slow in the first game with Thoreau and had to come from behind to win. Greenwood said that in the second game she made some adjustments that made a difference
“All though it didn’t go really well, we’ll accept the win,” she said.
Greenwood said that the game with Hatch was much like the game Socorro played when they hosted Valencia and lost the see-saw battle in five. Hatch has an impressive record (10-4, 1-0). Hatch went ahead 12-1 in the first game and ended up defeating Socorro 25-8.
“They totally stomped us in the first game,” Greenwood said.
Socorro turned the tables and won the second game, lost the third game, won the fourth then lost the fifth.
“Hatch is the team to beat in our district,” Greenwood said.
Quemado
The Quemado volleyball team lost at Animas in three on Saturday then hosted Reserve on Tuesday and won in three 25-17, 25-4, 25-8.
The Lady Eagles are scheduled to play in Magdalena on Thursday but because of illness she is not certain the game will be played.
Animas (7-3) will play in Quemado (4-8) at 10 a.m. Saturday then at 4 p.m. the Lady Eagles will also host Mountainair on Saturday. Quemado coach Nichole Sanders said that illness has depleted her team severely.
