With a couple of difficult early season match-ups behind them, the Lindbergh volleyball team is hoping a 3-1 victory Tuesday over Hazen will get them back on track.

Lindbergh opened with a 25-22 win, but Hazen battled back, taking the second set 25-18. The two teams continued to trade points through the third with the Eagles coming out on top 25-23. The tight match continued right on through to the fourth set, with the Eagles taking it 25-22.

Aajua Brooks led the way for Lindbergh with 7 kills and 3 blocks. Connie Tua added 8 kills, 12 digs ad 2 blocks of her own while Lauren Martinez wracked up 19 assists for the Eagles.

The win brings Lindbergh to 1-3 on the season, but Coach Steve George said the team’s record does not provide an accurate look at his team. George said he purposefully stacked the team’s schedule with difficult match-ups in the first few weeks against top-ranked, non-conference opponents and that the match against Hazen was a better indication of how his team would do in the Seamount League.

“All in all, Lindbergh is playing very competitively and I am happy with the team so far,” he said in an email. “I fully expect to go to the playoffs.”

Lindbergh was scheduled to play at Renton on Thursday and home against Evergreen Sept. 23.

Hazen heads to Evergreen on Thursday and is scheduled to play Foster Sept. 23 at home.
