Cate was unable to carry its strong play in the first set through the remainder of the match and dropped a 18-25, 25-18, 25-21, 25-12 volleyball decision at Nordhoff in Tri-Valley League play on Tuesday.
Freshman Theo Mack had 14 kills and hit for a .278 average and senior Henry Dawson hit. 235 for the Rams (2-6 overall and 2-5 in league).
“We started off strong and had stellar serve-receive passing but we couldn’t convert the good passing into positive points,” Cate coach Greg Novak said. “Nordhoff capitalized on our 13 service errors and ran an efficient middle and a strong outside.”
The Rams are back in action Thursday at home against Foothill Tech
