In honor of breast cancer awareness, Elmira High School’s volleyball team dressed in pink for their annual pink-out game Thursday against La Pine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The varsity Falcons showed up in brand-new pink jerseys, thanks to head coach Tessa Slager.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The varsity, junior varsity and JV2 teams all put up a tough fight against the Hawks, but only the JV team came away with a win. Their last game, which was cut short, had the Falcons in the lead over the Hawks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ending scores for the JV game were 19-25 for set one, 25-14 for set two and 25-16 for set three, with the second and third sets going to the Falcons.<\/p>\n\n\n

The JV2 team’s ending scores were 26-28 for set one and 21-25 for set two. Both sets went to the Hawks despite a tough fight from the Falcons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Varsity’s ending scores were 20-25 for set one, 13-25 for set two and 24-26 for set three, with the Hawks taking all three sets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite losing, the varsity team still racked up high numbers stat wise with an astounding 22 digs picked up by senior libero Ashlyn Turnbo (#3). Sophomores Jayden Breaux, an outside hitter (#14), and Josey Robbins, a setter (#15), both tied in aces with four. Breaux also led in kills with eight. Junior and varsity setter Lillian Ossowski (#1) led in assists with 11.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When asked about varsity’s performance, Slager said: \u201cSuper proud of them. They battled and played up to their capability. Unfortunately, we didn’t get the win, but I feel like the girls really showed their character and determination to get to their level of playing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Falcons competed Saturday in a tournament in Seaside. Their next match is at home against Jefferson starting at 6:30 p.m. Monday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
