The Carson High volleyball team faced the dreaded sandwich match on Tuesday at Morse Burley Gym, but CHS coach Shana Wilkins didn't seem to mind.
Coming off key Sierra League matches with Reno High and Douglas and facing another key league match on Thursday at Damonte Ranch, the Senators warmed up for that showdown with a 25-3, 25-5, 25-10 win over Hug.
Wilkins said the match was good preparation for Damonte. "It was as good as one of our practices," she said.
"I was actually very pleased that we played our game still. Usually we play down to their level. I was very pleased we didn't."
Carson (2-1 in the Sierra League) played a strong all-around match with 19 aces, 21 kills and eight blocks.
Kailey Taylor had five aces, four digs, a block and one kill, Katie McEwan had two aces and five digs, Morgan Nuckolls had two aces, one dig and two kills, Mavil Diaz had two aces and six digs, Danae Eckart had two aces, two kills and five digs and Bridjett Huish had six digs and three aces for Carson.
