Undefeated Melrose spikers topple Logan

An unbeaten Melrose volleyball team took the upper hand in the District 6 standings Saturday with a 25-20, 25-21, 25-17 victory at arch-rival Logan.

The Lady Buffaloes, ranked No. 1 in Class 1A, improved to 16-0 overall and has lost only one set all season. They improved to 5-0 in the district.

Logan, ranked sixth in 1A, fell to 11-6 overall and 5-1 in district play.

“We didn’t look as good as we did when we played Fort Sumner,” Logan coach Glynna Strand said, referring to her team’s victory over the Vixens earlier in the week. “Still some things we need to work on to beat Melrose.”

The Lady Longhorns play in the regular-season finale at Melrose on Nov. 5.
