Raton hosted Taos for the last match of the regular season Thursday evening in Tiger Gym and took the match in four.

Games one and two simply went Raton's way as they went ahead fairly early in the games and held on for the wins. However games three and four were two totally different games.

During game three Raton took an early 5-point lead and somehow Taos played it tough and came back to tie it at six and then went on to pull out by six and held on with strong play at the net. They held on as Raton posted a rally that fell short and allowed Taos to take the win.

In game four Raton was down again and then came back to tie the game at 22. It was tight until Raton managed to pull it out in front at 25. They won the next two points and took the game 27-25.

Raton will now move on to the district tourney next week. They are currently tied for second with West Las Vegas. Raton however had more points and should have the tie breaker with that. The district lineup will be out this weekend after the last match of the regular season is played.
