Arapahoe drops both ends of Med Valley triangular

CURTIS - The Arapahoe volleyball team again fought hard, but a chance for a victory slipped away at the Medicine Valley triangular last week.

The Warriors hit .113, led by four kills each from Emerson Swanson, Sabrina Jacobsen and Gentry Warner and had three aces, including two from Warner.

But the Raiders were too much as the Warriors finished with just four digs and two blocks defensively.
