PORT ANGELES — The Port Angeles volleyball team faced a stiff early season test against Eastside Catholic, and lost in three games.
“Eastside was very tall and hard to defend,” Roughriders coach Christine Halberg said.
“However, when we were able to control the tempo and get a good pass, we had some great offensive moments.”
The class 3A Crusaders of Sammamish beat the 2A Riders 25-10, 25-23, 25-17 in Saturday’s match.
For Port Angeles, Maddy Hinrichs had nine kills, 10 digs, one block and two digs.
Bailee Jones and Brittany Nordberg each had six kills and two blocks.
Kendra Harvey contributed 10 digs, and Holli Williams added 27 assists and six digs, and was 8 for 9 serving.
“It was a good start for us to realize what we have to do in order to meet our goals this year,” Halberg said.
Port Angeles (0-1) plays at Klahowya today.
