The big deal on the docket last week came Tuesday when the undefeated McCurdy volleyball team took on Sandia Prep, which was ranked fourth in Class 3A, while the Lady Bobcats checked in fifth in 2A.
Although little information is available about the match, the Lady Sundevils won 25-18, 26-24, 20-25, 25-16. That ended the Lady Bobcats’ season-opening, seven-game winning streak, which was the program’s best start in at least 20 years. Before the match, the Lady Bobcats had lost just three total sets on the season.
