Urquijo had seven assists, a block and two aces for Douglas. Tapia had two assists and four digs; Campbell six kills, three blocks and a dig. Chavez had two blocks, a kill and a dig; Mariscal three digs, a kill and a block and Lara had a kill and an ace.
“With this game we knew that we were facing one of the top teams
in our conference,” Coach Lorena Tapia said. “But when we give up even before we step on the court is something that I don't have control over.”
Tapia said Douglas’ game against Catalina was similar to Amphi.
“The girls need to be able to come in focused and ready to play,” she said. “Our mental game and defensive set back was the cause for tonight’s loss.”
Douglas, 4-3 overall, 1-3 in conference, is back on the road Thursday taking on Sahuarita in Sahuarita.
