Raton takes four to Win

The Yellowjackettes traveled to the jungle gym Tuesday afternoon for Raton's home opener. The Lady Tigers took the match in four with a very close loss in game two.

While game one was a win by two it wasn't that close until late in the game. Strong play at the net and good volleys kept it exciting. In game two the Lady Tigers trailed by as much as seven until they pulled it together with several slams and tied the game at 21. It was nip and tuck until an error allowed Clayton to get the upper hand and finish it out winning by two.

The next two games were simply Raton as they they pulled out in front early. In game four the Lady Tigers struggled but maintained lead and finally the win.

The Lady tigers will host West Las Vegas in the jungle on October 11 for the volleyball homecoming.
