Tigers taste Cardinals in district match

            Raton Lady Tigers continue their district win streak with a 3-0 win over the Robertson Lady Cardinals Thursday evening in Tiger Gym.
            Again as in other games the Lady Tigers worked the net well as Mikala Vertovec and Arissa Maldonado teamed up for blocks and Mikala with hits over the net from sets from Arissa. Jordan Valdez and Breannon Trujillo were also big contributors at the net.
            In game one the Lady Cardinals kept the backcourt busy for Raton setting up the passes so the net squad could do their job. Raton took an early lead and didn’t look back. Abbey Bradley and Caelin Bustos along with Jenna Rhoads worked the net for Robertson but often found the ball falling back in their laps from the blocks put up by the net squad.
            Game two was another runaway as Raton put up a big lead of 11 or 10 points before they finally put it away by 10. Maggie Honeyfield along with Vertovec made the hits sail and tough to handle for the Lady Cardinals.
            In game three the Lady Tigers took off but faltered and the Lady Cardinals cut the five to seven point lead to one. It was 18-19 and Raton pulled the plug on the Lady Cardinals with a couple of aces and hits that dropped in the Robertson court.
            Raton finished the Lady Cardinals off to go 3-0 in district play and will now host the Lady Dons Saturday afternoon in Tiger Gym.
