Birmingham had to start their season on the road on Wednesday, and it wasn't the start they were hoping for. They lost 3-0 to the Kennedy Cougars. Sadly, the defeat continues a streak the team started last season, making it five in a row.
The loss didn't mean the game wasn't competitive: Kennedy scored at least 20 points in every set. The match finished with set scores of 25-21, 25-20, 25-20.
Leading Kennedy to victory were Byanca Aleman and Isabela Barnett. Aleman had 18 assists and four digs, while Barnett had nine digs and five aces.
Kennedy's win was their seventh straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 2-0.
Birmingham has already played their next match (against Sherman Oaks CES), but no score has been uploaded at the time of writing. After both having extra time off, Kennedy and Reseda will shake off the cobwebs and hit the court against one another at 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday. This will be the Cougars' first chance to prove their worth in the conference.
