DODGE CITY, Kan.-Hays High Volleyball split four matches at the 2018 Western Athletic Conference Tournament on Saturday in Dodge City. The Lady Indians won their first match over the host Red Demons in straight sets 25-15, 25-14. The win extended their winning streak to 13 consecutive matches.

Next up for the Lady Indians was WAC front runner Garden City and the Lady Buffaloes showed their strength winning  over Hays 12-25, 14-25. The disappointment in that loss spilled over to the next match against Great Bend. Hays High struggled in the first set losing 14-25. Hays showed some life in the second set but it turned out to be too little, too late losing 23-25 and falling in straight sets to the Lady Panthers.

Hays High pulled up the boot straps in their last match of the day with a three set win over Liberal (21-25, 25-17, 25-17). Tasiah Nunnery led the way for the Lady Indians with 46 kills and Hannah McGuire paced Hays with 58 assists. Jaycee Dale and Nunnery were strong at the net with multiple solo blocks while Kallie Leiker and Brooklyn Schaffer controlled the digs in the back row.

Hays High improves to 22-11 on the season and will take on Salina Central and Maize on Tuesday in Salina. The Lady Indians found out that they will travel to Andover next Saturday for 5A Sub-State action where they will open up against Valley Center.
