Volleyball sweeps Hug

The Douglas High School volleyball team swept Hug Tuesday evening to improve to 14-6 overall on the year and 4-1 in Sierra League play.

The match was a good tune-up for the Tigers, who took on No. 5 Reno Thursday night and will host No. 1 Whittell tonight.

Jessica Waggoner led the way once again for the Tigers, pounding home nine kills to go with two blocks.

Hug didn't offer up much up an attack as Douglas only blocked five shots Tuesday with Danielle Brown, Bridget Maestretti and Jennifer Stice each adding one.

The Tigers continued their strong service game as Megan Myers recorded six assists and Alex Risko added four while the Tigers had 18 as a team for the match.

Kaylee Hall, playing in her first match of the season, had two aces and Allie Hughes, also playing in her first match since injuring her arm earlier in the year, had 18 assists.

Megan Mitchell added 17 assists and two kills, Maestretti had six kills and Ali Witteman had four kills.

Alyssa Todd, Stice and Taryn Williams each had three kills.

Douglas trailed twice briefly, falling back 1-0 at the beginning of the first and second games, before coming back to route the Hawks.

Myers served up 14 consecutive points in the final game.

Bonnie Matheson and Mary Lombino led the Tigers' defense with seven and six digs respectively.
