Though the Toledo volleyball team improved in each set, it dropped its first match of the season to Naselle, 25-15, 25-14, 25-23, Tuesday night.
The Riverhawks (0-1) faced a much-taller and experienced unit in the Comets, and couldn’t overcome a slow start in their season opener.
“Our girls played really well,” Riverhawks coach Kelli Larson said. “In that third set they were able to read the hits and dig them up. We also found a way to get some blocks and steal some momentum, it just wasn’t enough.”
Toledo plays next on Thursday looking to bounce back against 1A Hoquiam at 7 p.m. in Toledo.
