Ignacio volleyball puts up fight in opening loss to Kirtland Central

Ignacio volleyball starts another season against Kirtland Central

Tuesday night showed why Ignacio High School keeps scheduling Kirtland Central for the Bobcats’ season opener.

The Broncos always know how to put up a fight.

Kirtland Central claimed the team’s fifth consecutive season-opening meeting 3-1 (28-26, 17-25, 25-15, 25-12) in the Bobcats’ first game back in their home gym.

IHS (0-1) largely played at the SunUte Community Center last year while the high school was being renovated.

The Bobcats rallied after a tough first set to take an early 5-4 lead in the second set.

They didn’t relinquish it to win 25-17, ending the second set on an ace by junior Alex Forsythe.

The Broncos controlled the next two sets, leading 16-6 at one point in Set 3.

IHS now has lost five consecutive matches dating back to last season.

The Bobcats next will play Monte Vista at 6 p.m. Sept. 10 in Ignacio.

Statistics weren’t immediately available
