The Marble Falls High School volleyball team defeated Lampasas 25-20, 25-18, 25-18 Sept. 27 for its first win in District 244A play this season.
"It was a great road win," head coach Chris - topher Pace said. "(Win - ning) 3-0 is always good, especially after the three games we had (against Salado Sept. 24)." Like the Lady Mus - tangs (17-13, 1-3), the Lady Badgers (11-22, 0-5) were seeking their first district win, too. But Mar - ble Falls took the momen - tum they built in the third set against Salado with them. Though they lost 21-25, the Lady Mustangs had leads against the Lady Eagles. That belief and self-confidence were big keys in the match against Lampasas and what Pace wanted his players to bring with them.
They did, he said. "We rotated every - body in and everybody played really well," he said. "When Salado left their starters in and our girls got to the point when they knew we could hang with them, we started to clean that up. They know the history and are aware of Salado. It reminded our girls of the level of volleyball we could play. Through that mentality, there was a confidence." He noted that sopho - more setter Hannah Welch served well, junior Lily Stein passed well, and se - nior middle blocker Hope Todd "had a nice swing in the third set."
