Despite 48 unforced errors the Toppers came out of Griffith Gym with a 3-0 sweep of Santa Fe Prep. The back row never really found the ability on serve receive which led to the Topper setters to struggle placing balls for the big front row. When they did many of the Topper bigs did not deliver. Two bright spots were Abi Lechel with 2 aces and another 10 points on serve as well as 5 put downs on 9 attempts. Nadia Gallegos continued to dominate having 16 smashes on 21 attempts with only 1 error. The Toppers will try to find some consistency Wednesday night when they welcome Sandi Prep to Griffith Gym.
