Two days after earning its first win of the season, the Ballard High School volleyball team suffered a letdown against KingCo powerhouse Woodinville in a 3-0 loss Sept. 29.

Woodinville, who is 5-2 overall and undefeated in KingCo, beat the Beavers 25-17 in the first game. Things only went downhill after that for Ballard, as the team lost the final two games 25-12 and 25-11 in the most lopsided Ballard defeat of the season.

Junior Monique Marquez led the team with 11 assists, a season low for her. Junior Deanna Myers chipped in five kills for the Beavers.

With the loss, Ballard fell to 1-3 in KingCo and 1-6 overall.

The Beavers will look to rebound at 7 p.m. Oct. 4 at Bothell High School.

Bothell beat Ballard 3-0 last season, but so far 2010 has been a different story for both teams.

Bothell had won four of its five matches heading into its competition with Ballard last season and finished with a 15-4 record (10-1 in KingCo). This season, Bothell is struggling with a 2-5 record.
