The final score shows the Truckee volleyball team defeating visiting Fallon in straight sets Friday. But the victory did not come easily for the hosts, who dug deep to pull off the win, 26-24, 25-20, 28-26.

“You can see from the scores that it was not an easy win, but it was an excellent learning experience for our defense,” said Truckee coach Erika Murphy, whose Wolverines improved to 2-0 in Division I-A play (5-5 overall).

“Fallon had good hitters and their defense covered many of our tips. Their blockers challenged our hitting.”

Murphy added that having a good portion of Truckee’s football team in attendance helped motivate her players while bringing excitement to the gym.

Truckee posted 34 kills in the match, led by junior Maia Dvoracek’s 15 kills and senior Anais Fay’s 11. Maddie Haley added four kills.
