The Los Alamos High School Topper volleyball team played host to the Taos Tigers Thursday evening in Griffith Gymnasium.

The Tigers came out very strong in the first set easily winning 25-23. The Toppers picked up the pace in the following sets winning 26-24, 25-19 and 25-18 to win the match 3-1.

The Tigers were by no means an easy win for the Toppers who had to always stay on top of their game. The sets were full of excitement as the teams traded the lead several times during each set.

The Topper’s next outing is 6 p.m. Tuesday. Can’t make it to the game? Tune in to the Los Alamos Daily Post to listen to Gene Mortensen’s broadcast.
