Match Summary
Los Alamos rolled into Pinto country and stayed long enough for the sweep. Nadia Gallegos led the way and was seemingly unstoppable with 22 kills and 4 solo block kills. The Toppers had control of sets 1 and 3 and needed to rally from a 10-5 deficit to take set 2. After some "focus" issues in the back row the Toppers settled in as Bri Nieto, Bella Aguilar, Abi Lechel and Anna Kirkland started delivering solid passes for Angelina Passalacqua. Michelle Macias and Ashley Hammond each contributed with 8 kills and Callie Goda played solid ball with 4 kills and 3 solo blocks. Solenne Thelliez stepped it up with her defense and 4 block kills. The Toppers look to finish the regular season a perfect 8-0 in District as the Elkettes come to Griffith Gym for the last game of the season before the Toppers get seeded for state.
