The Gregory School set off the fall girls volleyball season with a 3-0 (25-16, 25-12, 25-13) sweep over Baboquivari at home Wednesday night and the victory was fueled by 31 aces. Junior middle Gabby Guerrero collected 12 aces in the match with fellow junior outside Malaika Thiagarajan adding eight and junior outside Paloma McMahon ending the night with five.

There weren’t many kills on the night with almost half the points coming via the serve but Baboquivari standout Meilia Johnson led the Warriors with four kills and Raymona Campillo added three aces of her own.

The Hawks (1-0) will travel to Phoenix to play NFL Yet (0-0) Friday night and Baboquivari (0-1) will have a little break before playing at Desert Christian (0-1) on Sept. 7. The Eagles dropped their first match Wednesday night at Valley Union 3-1.

The St. Augustine Wolfpack Invitational will run from Sept. 2-3 and teams will include St. David, Gregory School, St. Augustine, Desert Christian, Bisbee, Chandler Prep, Benson, Phoenix Christian, Heritage Academy Laveen and Globe.

There are four other AIA sanctioned tournaments that weekend including the Payson Longhorn Invitational, the Palo Verde TUSD Tournament, the Chandler House of Payne Tournament and the Estrella Foothills Wolves Classic Tournament.
