Volleyball: Vaqueros sweep Dayton to set up Fallon rematch

The Fernley High School volleyball team swept Dayton last Friday, winning 25-10, 25-23, 25-18 to improve to 4-1 in Northern 3A East play and 20-5 overall. The victory sets up a key rematch with league-leading Fallon (4-0) this Friday in Fernley. Trista Menesini led the Vaqueros with 12 kills and five aces, while Emma Masters added six kills. Grace Chapin contributed four blocks, and Alauna Escartin tallied 16 assists. “We played the best we have in two weeks,” said coach Diane Chapin. “We limited mistakes and ran a good offense.” Friday’s 6 p.m. matchup could determine first place in the league standings heading into the final stretch of the season.

The Fernley High School volleyball team swept its match with Dayton last Friday, setting up this 

week’s rematch with Fallon as a battle for first place in the Northern 3A East. 

The Vaqueros beat Dayton 25-10, 25-23, 25-18 to run their league record to 4-1 and 20-5 overall. 

Fallon leads the league with a 4-0 record, including a three-set win over Fernley on Sept. 24 in 

Fallon. 

Trista Menesini had 12 kills and served five aces for the Vaqueros against Dayton, and Emma 

Masters added six kills. Grace Chapin added four blocks and Alauna Escartin dished out 16 

assists. 

“We played the best we played in two weeks,” coach Diane Chapin said. “We limited mistakes 

and ran a good offense.” 

Fernley will host Fallon at 6 p.m. Friday. If Fernley wins, each team would have one league loss, 

with five matches remaining for Fallon and four for Fernley, If Fallon wins, it would have a two-

game lead over Fernley in the loss column and hold the tiebreaker if they end up with the same 

league record.
