Friday's match against San Antonio Davenport was a pretty routine night for San Marcos, with one exception.
The Lady Rattlers defeated the Lady Wolves, 3-1 (25-10, 25-16, 18-25, 25-16), inside the Snake Pit in their final match before the start of district play. A jersey mix-up in the third set caused the game to twice be held up for long stretches, a point coming off the board for the hosts each time and knocking them out of rhythm, giving Davenport (12-15) the frame. But the team otherwise looked sharp the whole match and improved to 24-5 on the season.
The one chief difference in the win was the absence of head coach Jared Te’o, who is currently recovering from an illness. First-year assistant coach Glenn Kennedy was tapped as Te’o’s interim and has kept San Marcos afloat, leading the team to a pair of wins.
