Baldwin and Holliday each have 10 kills but Aztecs volleyball fall at South Mountain

The Pima Community College volleyball team (2-3, 0-1 in ACCAC) played a tough match in Phoenix to open ACCAC conference play on Friday.

The Aztecs tied up the best-of-five match in the second set but fell in four games at South Mountain Community College 25-21, 24-26, 25-20, 25-22. Pima lost to South Mountain in five sets in a non-conference match at the New Mexico Military Classic last week.

Kristin Baldwin (Thatcher HS) had 10 kills and five blocks while Jamie Holliday (Sahuaro HS) also contributed with 10 kills and 12 digs. Angel Chavez (Mingus Union HS) finished with 35 digs and two aces.

The Aztecs will play their regular season home opener at the West Campus gymnasium on Wednesday against Phoenix College. The match is set to start at 7:00 p.m.
