RUP\u2019s win leaves the two teams in a virtual tie atop the NCL I standings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a match where every set was contested, the Knights (6-1) fell just a bit short as they tried to wrap up the league race.

Andon Beall added 18 kills. Otoniel Rivas led the team with 33 digs while Julian Armas had a team-best 49 assists. Jorge Bernal also had six kills and two aces, and George Baqleh served up three aces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking ahead to the remainder of the team\u2019s regular season, including a non-league match Wednesday against Rio Lindo in Healdsburg, McCallister said the Knights need to improve their play in one specific area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur serve needs to be tougher and more consistent,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Loss to RUP leave Kelseyville in virtual tie for first place atop league standings Lake County Sports on Facebook SANTA ROSA &gt;&gt; Last year\u2019s North Central League I co-champions in boys volleyball are tied again for the top spot in the standings as the 2025 season winds down.
