The Matilda Torres Toros  girls volleyball team showed there is more work that needs to be done in a three-set loss to the Edison Tigers in the season opener at Torres on Thursday. 

The Toros couldn’t get out of their own way. They committed 24 unforced errors with 13 aces against them. They hit the ball out of bounds eight times for points and were called for a net violation seven times. In addition, they missed 10 serves. 

Noelia Calvillo was a highlight for the Toros. She led the team with eight kills and also had five aces. Lexi Heredia added seven kills. J’Lynn Mitchell was the only other Toro with more than two kills with three.
