WINNEMUCCA - The last time the Lowry High School junior varsity volleyball team lost a match it was the first week of September in a tournament at Truckee, Calif.

Lowry stepped out of league play on Wednesday and defeated Pershing County 25-4 and 25-15.
Brooklyn Waller served the first nine points of the opening set against the Lady Mustangs, which included two aces. During that stretch, Olivia Silva and Hannah Hillyer had kills.
Pershing County stopped the run, only to have the Lady Bucks' Madison Montero start another 6-0 run with a kill. After the kill, the freshman took to the service line and nailed two aces to help push the advantage to 15-1.
Following two points by Pershing County, it was time for Hillyer to collect a couple of aces as the freshman pushed the lead to 20-3. Chelsea Herrera closed out the set with two aces of her own.
It was much of the same in the second set as the Lady Bucks raced out to an 8-1 lead. The Mustangs closed the gap to 10-7 at one time, when Lowry reeled off six consecutive points and were not challenged again.
Hillyer finished with two kills, two aces and one block, Herrera had three aces and two kills and Kaity Sample had one dig. Montero contributed three aces and two kills, Madison Lozano and Silva each had one kill, Waller had six assists and three aces and Ashlee Barron had one ace.
