Royals dig deep to beat Hart in four games

Scrappy play is the trademark of the San Marcos girls volleyball team, and the Royals were hustling all over the court Tuesday in a 25-17, 22-25, 25-16, 25-20 non-league win over visiting Hart.

The Royals got 15 digs from Katherine Crook and 11 from Emma Campbell in improving to 2-0 on the young season.

“Typically, we play some good defense,” coach Erica Downing said. “We’re a really scrappy team. We try to spread the ball around and try to be a smarter team. The girls work really hard.”

Downing called Crook the team’s workhorse. She passed well and led the team’s attack with 12 kills. Campbell also had a good night passing the ball.

The Royals are back in action Thursday at home against Westlake.
