Recap
Tucson, AZ — The Pueblo Warriors were on fire from the service line Wednesday night, racking up a blistering 24 aces — their highest total since September 2024. Their aggressive play paid off in a big way as they cruised to a commanding 3-0 sweep over the Sabino Sabercats. It wasn’t just a win — it was payback. Just two weeks ago, Sabino handed Pueblo a tough 2-1 loss. This time, the Warriors flipped the script and didn’t let up.
The final scores — 26-24, 25-21, 25-21 — show just how tight the first set was, but Pueblo never blinked. Once they grabbed the momentum, they held it with confidence and closed out each set with poise and power.
The win marks Pueblo’s biggest victory since August 28th, improving their record to 4-6 on the season. Meanwhile, Sabino’s road woes continued, as this loss marked their ninth straight away defeat dating back to last season, dropping them to 2-9 overall.
It was a total team effort from Pueblo, but a couple of standout performances lit up the stat sheet: Emma Castillo was a defensive rock with 15 digs, while Isabella Islava made her mark with her first kills of the season.
Both teams are hoping to feed off some home-court energy in their next matchups. After some extra rest, Pueblo will host Cholla at 6:00 p.m. Tuesday in what should be a lively showdown. As for Sabino, they'll look to regroup when they face Gilbert Christian at 6:00 p.m. Monday.
