Against the Hutchinson Salt Hawks, Aubrey Warden had three kills while Bree Horyna and Mullens had two kills a piece.  Dodge had six assists while Porras had three aces and Horyna had one.  Lizzy Cisneros led Liberal in digs.

Comments from coach Megan Besecker:

“The first game went really well, we had great energy, everyone was ready to play.  It was a team effort and our passing was great.  Game 2 did not go our way.  We made way too many errors and ultimately we never got going on a run.  We will take this game as a lesson to learn what we need to work on to play them against this weekend in Hutch at their tournament.”

Liberal plays a quad at Garden City on Thursday.
