The William Jessup volleyball team played in the second game of their two-game road trip in Arizona taking on Arizona Christian University Saturday afternoon. The Warriors were unable to come away with a win losing in straight sets to the Firestorm, 25-13, 25-20, and 25-17. 

In the first set, the Warriors were unable to hold a lead as they trailed for the duration of the set and lost 25-13. 

The second set was close throughout as it was tied 12 different times. When it looked like the Warriors were down and out trailing 13-19, a kill from Taylor Tarble would spark a 6-0 scoring run as the game was again tied 19-19. Ultimately the Warriors would only go on to score one more point in the set as they lost 25-20.

In the third set, the Warriors were down early and struggled to get into a groove. Jessup would string together a pair of scoring spurts but would drop the set 25-17. 

Vendela Williams led with 7 kills and Michaela Zapata had 5. In consecutive games, Alicia Borges recorded two aces bringing her season total to 38, fifth overall in the conference. Madison Pelham and Brianne Whitt each finished with 12 assists and on the defensive side, Taylor Jacky led with 15 digs and Whitt finished with 10. 

The Warriors will return home for their final three games, the first coming on October 26th against The Master's University at 7 PM.
