Benedictine Mesa women's volleyball battled hard but ultimately fell in three sets to Life Pacific on Friday night, with the Warriors taking the match 25-21, 25-19, 25-18.

The opening set was tightly contested early as Railey Druxman and Sophie Drollinger helped pace the Redhawks' offense, combining for multiple kills. A service ace from Camille Collins and strong blocking from BelleRose Branconier kept Benedictine within striking distance. However, Life Pacific responded with a late run, capitalizing on Redhawk errors to close out the first set 25-21.

Set two saw Life Pacific jump out to a quick lead before Benedictine rallied behind Janae Moore and Druxman, who delivered key kills to keep the score close. Vivianna Galvan sparked momentum with a service ace and several assists, but the Warriors' balanced attack proved too much as they secured the second set 25-19.

In the third, the Warriors established control early with a string of service aces and blocks, forcing Benedictine to play from behind. The Redhawks showed resilience with late kills from Collins, Moore, and Druxman, but Life Pacific maintained their edge, sealing the set 25-18 and completing the sweep.
