EDWARDS — Vail Christian volleyball bounced back in fine fashion on Saturday, recovering from a three-set loss on Friday at West Grand to sweep Caprock Academy, 25-19, 25-13, 25-8, at the Wheeler Athletic Center in Edwards.
Back-to-back games are a part of life in the 2A Slope, and the young Saints did nice job of putting West Grand in the rear-view mirror.
“I think they did really well,” Saints coach Sara Carlton said. “We had a slow start and had to start playing our game. He had some great plays and some good digs and came out a lot strong in the seconds and third sets.”
Marti Schmidt and Ciara Heiden led the attack, while Clara Cappel anchored the defense at libero.
