Lady Dragon spikers win, but Sonoma girls edged in tennis, golf, Dagner medalist

In Sonoma County League action on Tuesday, Sonoma Valley High School’s varsity volleyball girls swept through Windsor, while Sonoma’s tennis and golf girls’ teams dropped a pair of heartbreaking home and road matches to Healdsburg and El Molino, respectively.

At Windsor, the volleyball Lady Dragons posted a 25-20, 25-15, 25-13 victory, led by senior libero Karly Burningham’s 26 digs; freshman Mackenzie Albrecht’s 15 digs, 11 kills, one solo block and an assisted block; frosh Delaney Swanson’s 10 kills and one solo block; senior setter Jersey Witous’ nine digs and four serving aces; senior Karisa Hess’ eight kills; and junior Taryn Mak’s solo block.

The Lady Dragon spikers hosted league foe Casa Grande last night – results not available at presstime – and play at SCL rival Petaluma this Tuesday evening, Sept. 27.

Sonoma’s girl golfers traveled to Monte Rio and faced SCL foe El Molino at the redwood-filled Northwood Golf Course near the banks of the Russian River, where junior Jordann Dagner turned in a medalist effort with her nine-hole round of ??51.

The Lady Dragon golfers – who played visiting SCL rival Casa Grande yesterday, with results not available at presstime – will host league rival Petaluma in their home opener this Tuesday, Sept. 27, at the Sonoma Golf Club.
