(Seguin) — The Seguin Lady Matadors won a battle for first place in District 27-5A with a straight sets victory over San Antonio Edison on Tuesday night at Goldie Harris Gym.
The Lady Mats took the sweep, 25-15, 25-19, 25-14. Seguin has not lost a set this month. The Lady Mats have swept all of their five district matches so far this season.
Five Lady Matadors had double digit digs led by senior Karina Lerma with 19. Senior Ayla Arcos had 16 digs, sophomore Britlyn Walls came up with 13, junior Gisele Morales had 12 and sophomore Danica Rushlow had 10 digs.
In the kill department, the Lady Matadors were led by Lerma who punched through 16 kills. Sophomore Ellie Anderson added 12 kills while fellow sophomore Rebeka Wilke joined Lerma and Anderson in double digit kills with 10. Morales set up her hitters with 38 assists on the night.
Seguin was helped by their depth late in the match from sophomore Mia Hernandez. Hernandez found open spots on the Edison side of the court to bury a couple of kills and secure the sweep.
Seguin head coach Ashley Farris talked about her hitters Hernandez, Anderson, Lerma and Wilke after the victory.
“Mia definitely stepped up and got some good kills,” Farris said. “It’s hard, she’s next to Ellie (Anderson) and our middles are our go-to kids, everybody knows it. And obviously we have Karina (Lerma) set up outside. Rebeka Wilke had a good night. She had a heck of a practice today and we kinda knew she was gonna be on fire.
“And we had five girls in double digits in digs. To me, that’s a very good night because I’m a big believer that defense wins championships. So, we gotta continue to be scrappy like that and it’s gonna do us a lot of good in the future”
Seguin is now 5-0 in District 27-5A and tied with San Antonio Burbank atop the district. The Lady Bears fell to 4-1.
The Lady Mats will host San Antonio Highlands on Friday. The Lady Owls are 5-1 in district play. The match will take place at 5:30 p.m. at Goldie Harris prior to Friday night’s homecoming football game.

The Lady Panthers dropped the Lady Ro-Hawks in four sets, winning 25-13, 25-13, 19-25, 25-14. Navarro is now 21-11 on the season and will host Lackland Stacey on Friday.
