The Hartford volleyball team lost two home matches on Tuesday, losing to Flinthills 25-21, 25-20, and to Burlingame 25-10, 25-10.
Paige Hamman was one of the Jaguars’ top performers against Flinthills, recording 12 digs. Kellie Farr had four blocks, and Samantha Wilkerson was a perfect 6-for-6 on serves.
Amanda Zwellmiller recorded nine digs against Burlingame, and Farr had four digs and four blocks. Hamman, Zwellmiller and Kristen Williams were all perfect on serves, with Williams going 6-for-6.
“We passed better,” Hartford coach Paul Cassity said of the Burlingame matchup. “However, Burlingame did a great job defensively and the girls were unable to get their offense on track.”
