Rebs sweep Del Valle to extend win streak

The Hays Rebels volleyball team extended its winning streak to five matches Tuesday after a three-set sweep of the Del Valle Cardinals at Bales Gym.

The Rebels (21-16, 7-3 in district) got off to a fast start by dominating Del Valle 25-1 in the first set. Junior Ryann Torres, who finished with a game-high 22 assists, recorded seven of those during the first frame. Sophomore Madelyn Krafka notched three of her team high nine kills in the first set as well.

Play became much more competitive in the second set as the Cardinals capitalized on some sloppy play and errors from Hays. The Rebels led 20-18 at the first timeout.
