Estancia earns five-set win in league opener against Saddleback

Madison Murray had a team-high 13 kills as the visiting Eagles rallied to defeat the Roadrunners 25-17, 25-27, 25-27, 25-16, 15-9 on Thursday.

Sarah Graham added nine kills and five aces. Taylor Sweet also had nine kills, and Sophie Beazley had five.

Estancia (8-3, 1-0) made big gains against the Roadrunners (9-7, 0-1) in serving, where Louise Chupeau turned in a team-high six aces.

“Huge win for our team tonight,” Eagles coach Rick Reeve said. “The girls got in a slump in games two and three and decided to regroup, came together, and stayed positive and fought hard.

“Madi Murray won the game ball because, among other things, she kept the team positive the whole match.”

Estancia has home matches against Calvary Chapel (Tuesday) and Costa Mesa (Thursday) next week.
