Anchorage, AK- The Texas A&M University Lady Dustevil volleyball team headed out to the PacWest to start their season playing a round robin tournament hosted by Alaska Anchorage where they played four matches over the course of Friday and Saturday this weekend.
The Lady Dustdevils unfortunately fell in every contest to go 0-4 on the weekend against opponents Alaska Anchorage, University of Central Missouri, Biola University and Alaska Fairbanks.
Only once all weekend were the Lady Dustdevils able to score 20 plus points in each set and struggled to convert winning sets, accomplishing this once all weekend as well. Mackenzie Catalina (44) and Yaretzi Ortiz (40) led the offensive attack all weekend with over 40 kills each; while Catalina was also a standout performer in digging out 45 digs on the weekend. Daniela Sandoval also recorded 42 digs on the weekend as some bright spots for the Lady Dustdevil volleyball team.
The Lady Dustdevils will return to action next Friday in Colorado Springs for the Mountain Lion Invitational.
