Buena girls volleyball
struggles at Millennium
The Buena High School volleyball team traveled to the Millennium Invitational in Glendale over the weekend and lost all four matches they played. Buena was beaten by Parker, Boulder Creek, Pinnacle and Palo Verde by one point in a truncated rubber game.
Buena head coach Amy Cooper said she was disappointed in her team’s effort, but was pleased by their performance in practice Monday getting ready for tonight’s key region match at Ironwood Ridge.
“We’re looking forward to playing at the level we were at at the Mountain View tournament and the week prior,” Cooper said. “I think fall break kind of threw us for a loop.”
