Allen Community College’s volleyball team ended its regular season on a down note. The Lady Red Devils lost 3-1 to Kansas City Community College.
A slow start in the first set was too much for Allen to handle in a 25-18 defeat. Allen got off to a hot start in the second set and led 6-0 early on. That fast start propelled Allen to a 25-22 win.
Another sluggish start doomed ACC in the third set and Kansas City took advantage, winning 25-20.
Allen got off to its strongest start of the night in the fourth set, leading 5-1 early. Kansas City came roaring back for a 25-18 win to finish off the match.
“We went into the game with the mentality that we wouldn’t have any regrets,” said Allen head coach Whitney Shaw. “Last week we played a couple of matches and didn’t feel good about ourselves at the end of those. We wanted to leave everything on the floor.”
Gabriela Dominguez had 15 kills. Bethany Williams had eight kills, two digs, and two assists. Alexis Hafenstine had 24 digs. Lauryn Holloway had three blocks.
Allen finishes the regular season 13-14.
The Red Devils will play at Highland next Wednesday in the first round of the Region VI playoffs. Allen lost to Highland 3-0 on Sept. 22.
