The Aztec Volleyball team finally seems to be getting on the right track.
The team has won two of its last three matches over the past two weeks after dropping four in a row and seven of its last eight, thus bringing its total record to 6-10.
Pima’s play this season has mirrored last season, as the Aztecs’ record at the same time last year was (7-11).
Oct. 4 (3-1) Pima over Phoenix College
The Aztecs would go on to beat the Phoenix College Bears 3 sets to 1 after dropping the first set.
The win marked Pima’s first road win of the season. Madi Nash had 16 kills, and she leads the team in that category this year.
Nash and Jade Romine both posted double-doubles in kills and digs to bring home the win against the Bears. Kaleigh Hockett led the Aztecs with an impressive 46 assists and leads the team in assists so far this season.
Oct. 2 (3-0) Scottsdale over Pima
The Aztecs welcomed the 13th-ranked (13-4) Scottsdale Community College Artichokes, who came into the game riding a nine-game win streak.
Pima kept the first set close, losing 25-20, but dropped the second set (25-16) and the third by 9 points (25-19).
Savanna White led the Aztecs in kills with 7, and Hockett led the team in assists with 15. The loss drops the Aztecs to 5-10 and a conference record of 2-6 to begin the season.
Sep. 27 (3-1) Pima over Chandler-Gilbert
Pima would snap its four-game losing streak against Chandler-Gilbert and won its first match since the Sept. 6 match over the 4-13 Southern Nevada Coyotes.
The Aztecs took the first set 25-18, the second set 25-12 and the last set 25-13.
Nash and Hockett led the way as Nash had a team high in kills with 12, and Kaleigh had 26 assists to lead the team.
