The Sacramento State women’s volleyball team competed in the Boise State Classic at Boise State University in Idaho on Friday and Saturday and finished the tournament (0-3) bringing their overall record to (5-9).

The Hornets started off the tournament against undefeated University of Portland (9-0) on Friday morning at Bronco Gym and lost in three straight sets (25-16, 25-23, 25-18) bringing the Hornets record to (5-7).

Due to injuries, the team was forced to play their matches without freshman setters McKenna Smith and redshirt Ashtin Olin.

The Hornets adjusted to the changes by subbing in other players like outside hitter Sarah Davis and libero Paige Swinney who stepped into the setters’ roles on Friday.
