Boulder Creek extends winning streak to four

ANTHEM – It was two matches, two more wins for Boulder Creek, which has already shattered last year’s win total. The Jaguars beat Northwest Region foes Trevor Browne and North Canyon last week to improve to 4‑2 in the region and 12‑3 overall.

Even more important, Boulder Creek’s third and fourth consecutive wins in region play moved the team up to third in the region standings and fifth in 5A‑Division II in power points.

The Jaguars roared to a three‑game sweep on Sept. 19 at Trevor Browne 25‑17, 25‑22, 25‑10 as Brittany Barnum collected 10 kills and setter Lindsey Lovell racked up 20 assists. Boulder Creek then whipped North Canyon a night later at home 25‑14, 25‑22, 25‑12 thanks to Nicole Lentine’s 10 kills, Lovell’s 19 assists and eight service aces, and Brittany Bartimoccia’s five kills and eight digs.
