Viewmont

Viewmont lost in a tight five-setter to Northridge 25-22, 26-28, 26-24, 21-25, 15-13 Sept. 20.

“It was intense, but it was also some of the best volleyball I’ve seen us play,” said head coach Cathy Hope. “Our teams were pretty equally matched and it just came down to some unforced errors on our part.”

Vanessa Haddock had 17 kills to lead the offense with Liza Montalbo adding 12. Montalbo was tops on the defense with 12 digs “with some seemingly impossible digs,” according to Hope.

Hope also noted the “impressive game” Julia Baird played for the Vikings. “Julia is usually front row only, but due to an illness played back row defense and just played super smart defensively, recording two blocks to go with eight kills.”

Against Box Elder Sept. 22, Viewmont won 25-20, 25-11, 25-27, 25-13.

Montalbo’s 14 kills led the way with Haddock and Maddie Lege adding 10 and eight kills, respectively. 

“Our setter Macey Christian continues to run the ball so well with the team,” Hope said. “Her court smarts are impressive. She just knows how to get things done and plays out of her head. She is fun to watch.”

The Vikings have a 6-9 record this season.

Farmington

Farmington lost to Fremont 27-25, 17-25, 25-22, 25-27, 15-13 Sept. 22.
