It's an up-and-down season for the Delta High School Lady Panthers volleyball team. Delta (3-2 and 7-6) hosted Battle Mountain on Thursday, Sept. 27, and completed a 3-0 sweep over the Lady Huskies.

Against Summit (1-4 and 3-8) on Saturday, the Lady Panthers could not find consistency in their game and suffered a 3-1 loss in 4A WSL play.

Against Battle Mountain, Delta had a solid effort in the opening set with a 25-21 win. Battle Mountain played well and kept the score close throughout the contest.

Skylyn Webb started the second set with three straight kills as Delta built a 6-0 lead early and had a 10-point edge at 18-8 before rolling to a 25-15 win.

The third set was a mirror of the first set with Delta scoring a 25-21 win for the match victory.

Callie Gafford had nine kills to lead Delta, with teammates Webb (8), Brooke Taylor (6), and Shelby Curtis (5) contributing at the net as well.

Natalie Larkin was the Panthers' digs leader with 15 while Toni Ortiz and Webb had 14 and 11 assists respectively.

The scores from Summit were as follows; 22-25, 28-26, 14-25, and 19-25.

Delta's next court action is in Delta Thursday, Oct. 4, against Grand Valley at 6 p.m. for varsity play. On Saturday, Delta is in Gypsum to play at 1 p.m.
