Match Summary
Los Alamos made the trip into Taos to face the Tigers. The Toppers fired out of the gate quickly and ran away with the first set. The second set saw the group struggle, especially in back row execution as the DS group could not deliver in serve / receive.

Callie Goda led the way with 14 kills, followed by Ashley Hammond with 10 kills. Gianna "G" Benelli had a strong game from the back row with 12 playable digs on 14 attempts and 2.5 serve / receive rating.
