It’s been a decent start for a largely inexperienced Monument Valley volleyball team with wins over Shonto Prep and Navajo Pine and a loss to Kayenta.

Sixth-year head coach Vanessa Russell said that she and her players are excited about what’s ahead. “I want to see the girls come together, work as a team, support each other on and off the floor, be able to close out games, and push themselves to get stronger,” she said.

They’ll have plenty of opportunity to test the limits this week with games against Red Valley, NM, Green River, and Shiprock Northwest.
