Millennia McKindley added six kills and four aces, while Rikki Lipscomb matched Lanning with six aces and also had four digs.

And that’s not all for the Warriors.

The Warriors’ lone loss in conference play came at St. Bernard’s in their Little 4 opener and the two teams will face off again in a pivotal showdown in Hoopa next Tuesday.
