Raton hosted the Robertson Lady Cardinals Tuesday, October 29 for the last home match of the regular 2019 season and sent them home with a 3-0 win for the night.
The C-team held on to a slim lead in game one to take the win but dropped game two after coming from behind and tying the game at 24. Robertson made the last two points to take the win and send the match into overtime where Raton took an early and big lead when Kaylee Doyon served for nine points to give Raton the big lead.
The JV team however seemed to struggle and allowed Robertson to take an early lead in both games of the match before going on to win by over 13 points.
The varsity match went pretty much the same in all three games as Raton fell behind early on and never could bring it back loosing all three matches by more than eight points. Raton did have some splendid moments when they managed to keep the ball in play for extended volleys making Robertson earn those few points.
Raton will host West Las Vegas Monday evening in Tiger Gym for the first round of district tourney play at 6:00 p.m. Raton hosts the Lady Dons who come into the match with an 0-8 record in district play. The winner of that match will go on to play the Lady Braves in Santa Fe.
