The Gibraltar volleyball team played as many as four divisions up on Saturday as they went 1-3 in the Ashwaubenon Jaguar Classic.

 

The Vikings started the day with a win over Division 2 Antigo (13-25, 25-16, 15-13) before losing to D1 Ashwaubenon (17-25, 20-25), D3 Wrightstown (20-25, 10-25), and D1 Menasha (20-25, 18-25). 

 

The Vikings were led by Azucena Jauregui ( 22 kills, 3 aces, 25 digs, 5 blocks), Isla Fagundes (50 assists, 3 aces, 20 digs), Ella Clarke (15 kills, 3 solo blocks), and Ema Collak (8 kills, 4 aces, 17 digs).

 

Vikings head coach Lauren Ward called the tournament a "learning experience" because of the step up in size in competition. "We were glad to rally and defeat Antigo in a fun win," Ward said. "The rest of the matches we felt good about rising up to the level of play and operating at a high speed of defense and offense."

 

The Vikings will now set their sights on Algoma and Sturgeon Bay.
