After seeing a nine game win streak end to Cibolo Steele last week, the Hays Rebels volleyball team rebounded in a big way Friday to close its nondistrict schedule.
Thirteen kills from junior Catherine Croft made the difference as Hays blasted the Bowie Bulldogs 25-14, 28-26, 25-22 Sept. 8.
With the win, Hays closes its nondistrict record with a 19-9 mark, with the team having won 10 of its last 11 matches.
Helping Croft was sophomore Ryann Torres and senior Kaitlyn Krafka, who each contributed six kills apiece in the match. Freshman Madelyn Krafka finished with five kills.
Two Rebels finished in double digits in assists Friday. Torres led the way with 24 assists and junior Sierra Dittmar finished with ten assists on the night.
Success was also found at the serving line as the Rebels amassed nine aces and only six serving errors in the match.
On the defensive side, five players finished with ten or more digs, with Croft securing 19 digs and Krafka finishing with 17. Dittmar had 12 digs, while Torres and junior Kayla Tello both finished with 11.
Hays hosts Vandegrift Friday at 5:30 p.m., and then will host the rival Lehman Lobos on Sept. 19 at 6:30 p.m.
