Evelyn Mkhitarian finished with five aces and five kills.
Abigail Garibay chipped in with six kills on Thursday.
Up next: The Eagles will be back in action on Friday at Glendale High School.
Quotable:
Marshall Fundamental coach, Jeff Thai: “It was a hard fought match that our players never gave up on, even when we were down 2 sets. Our core group is young and is going through the usual growing pains, but we are seeing a lot of great things from them. It is fun and exciting to watch these girls get on that court and constantly try to push the envelope.”
Records: Marshall Fundamental (1-1); Hoover (1-0)
