The Lehman Lady Lobos lost their final home match of the season Tuesday in three sets (25-10,25-21,25-11) to the Westlake Chaparrals.
Lehman fought hard throughout all three sets against one of the top teams in 25-6A. Even without winning a set, the Lobos showed their heart during the second set as they attempted to steal a set from the Chaps.
Seniors M.J. Vega and Kaytlin Mendoza were able to elevate their game in the second set to keep the Lobos within reach of the win. Vega tallied six digs while Mendoza recorded five kills during that frame.
“I felt our seniors were our leaders on and off the court,” Lehman head coach Kathryn Legh-Page said. “They performed and lived up to everything I knew they would.”
Senior Sarah O’Neal led Lehman in kills with six for the night. Mendoza followed closely behind with five kills and one ace, while Vega finished the match with eight digs and one ace.
“My girls played really well tonight,” said Legh-Page. “They went for everything, they left it all out there. Westlake is a good team, but we competed with them and I was very proud of them this evening.”
Westlake took charge and won the third set convincingly 25-11.
Lehman will finish off the season with back to back road games against Lake Travis and Vista Ridge.
