DAVENPORT—The young Gorillas battled in every set but couldn’t get over the hump in any of their three attempts at the Northwest Christian Crusaders in Davenport’s non-tournament season opener Tuesday, Sept. 20.
NWC won the first set 25-22, scored two straight points in a tied second set to win 27-25 and again 25-22 in the third set for the sweep.
Davenport, which hadn’t seen any match action in 17 days since the Gorilla Volleyball Tournament, fell to 0-1 while the more-experienced NWC improved to 2-3.
Eighth-grader Emalie Jacoby led Davenport with 10 assists, six digs and two blocks. Freshman Naomi Rainwater added eight kills and two blocks for the Gorillas.
Morgan Barnett had seven kills for the Crusaders.
Davenport heads on the road next for a match up north with Kettle Falls at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 22.
