After taking an open date last week, the Albany Lady Lions got back to business in the District 6-2A volleyball race Saturday, Sept. 30, sweeping Coleman 25-13, 25-18, 25-15 on the road.

Albany (25-5 overall, 2-1 district) hosted Hawley on Tuesday, Oct. 3, losing a hard-fought four-set battle 14-25, 25-18, 22-25, 23-25. Details will be reported next week.

Albany returns to the road at 10:00 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 6 with a district match at Ranger.

The Lady Lions had the district bye on Tuesday, Sept. 26, but showed no rust against the Lady Bluecats.

“I felt like we played a solid game,” Lady Lions coach M.J. Reneau said. “For our first district away game, we played really well.”

Albany enjoyed a balanced attack with seven players recording kills, five with at least three. Kiana Roberson had eight kills and a block with Caroline Holson adding seven kills and four blocks. Callan Edgar had five blocks.

“Everyone contributed offensively,” Reneau said. “We were able to spread the ball out, and everyone was on.”

Abi Hale recorded 28 assists. Robin Lucas had 11 of Albany’s 20 digs.

The Lady Lions also enjoyed a strong service game Five players reached double figures. Roberson served 15 points with five aces, while Caroline Chapman had 14 points and four aces. Brooklyn Abbate had 13 points with Holson adding 11 and Hale 10.

The Lady Lions had just four service errors in 74 attempts.

“Our serving was very strong on Saturday,” Reneau said.
