San Marcos —
After dropping pair of games on Saturday at the Seguin Invitational, the San Marcos High School volleyball team will try to get back on track tonight when the Lady Rattlers host New Braunfels-Canyon for a 6:30 p.m. game at The Snake Pit.
After going 3-0 in pool play on Friday with wins over Beeville-Jones, San Antonio-Marshall and San Antonio-Southwest, the Lady Rattlers struggled in bracket play, losing to host Seguin (2-0) and SA-Warren (2-1).
Maggie Breed and Jordan Carswell led the team with five kills each against Seguin, while Carswell and Birdie Schneider served up three aces each.
Ali Gonzales guided the team with 11 assists against Seguin, while Allie Bryant paced the defense with nine digs.
Carswell paced the Lady Rattlers’ attack against Warren with seven kills while Breed and Madelyn Swinney each had four kills.
