Kennedy Campbell had six kills and three aces as the Houston volleyball team topped Cuba 25-22, 25-23 on the road Thursday night for the team’s first victory of 2018.
Alexis Choate had a team-best eight assists for the Lady Tigers (1-5). Melody Buse had nine digs.
Campbell, Tara Stanton and Janae Huff had one block apiece.
HHS coach Loran Richardson said her team had its best hitting match of the season with four of the team’s six attackers at better than .200.
“It will really make a difference for us this season if we can continue to attack like we did last night,” she said.
The Lady Tigers actually fell behind 22-19 in the second set before scoring six of the final seven points to close out the match.
“What I’m most proud of though is the fact that we were communicating and competing from the beginning of the game until the very end,” Richardson said. “We have some tough matches coming up, but if we play like we did last night, we will be in every game.”
