Tough Loss for Viking Girls
Last night in North Bend the Siuslaw Viking volleyball team began its pre season with a match against the Bulldogs. It was a back and forth match according to head coach Jonathan Hornung who said several players gave a glimpse of what the season would be.
“Mia (Collins) led the way with 12 kills and Desi Tupua, a freshman, followed her up with 7.”
An ankle injury to Tupua in the fourth set changed the dynamics of the team according to Hornung. The bulldogs won that set forcing a 5th set. The Vikings were down 14-10 and fought back, but the Bulldogs finished strong to take the 5th set and the match. Today the Vikings host Bandon and Douglas for a jamboree beginning at noon.
