An injury-plagued Lindbergh volleyball team fell to an undefeated Kennedy Catholic team on Tuesday, but Coach Steve George said young players stepped up and he is still “feeling good” about the team’s chances in the postseason.

Lindbergh fell 3-0. Scores were 25-16, 25-20, 25-16.

The Eagles went into Tuesday’s match without their top setter, Lauren Martinez, who went down last week with a season-ending knee injury, but George said backup Victoria Vasilchuck stepped up in her first varsity game, providing 16 assists.

Aajua Brooks and Ashley Peterson-Laukala each had 4 kills for the Eagles and Connie Tua had 5 kills and 5 digs.

Overall, George was encouraged about his team’s play.

“With almost three more weeks to get ready, we are feeling good about adjusting in time for the 2A District Playoffs,” he said in an email.

Lindbergh is now 7-6 overall and 7-4 in the Seamount League. They presently sit in third place.

Lindbergh was scheduled to play at Foster on Thursday.
