The victory extended the Eagles win streak to four games, and over that stretch, Marshall has won 12 of the 13 sets they’ve played.

Abigail Garibay, who returned after missing three matches due to an arm injury had seven aces and three kills.

Alexis Delgado contributed four kills and five aces.

Rory Lorenz added four kills, four aces and a block.

Evelyn Mkhitarian provided five kills and three aces, and Lauren Sandoval finished with 17 assists and five aces.

Up next: The Eagles open Mission Valley League play on Monday against their visitors from Mountain View.

Quotable:

Marshall Fundamental coach, Jeffrey Thai: “We came out of the gate a bit slow in this match, but kicked it in gear in the middle of the first set. Still seeing some issues in the back, but that is to be expected with a young roster. Still seeing a very balanced starting roster that is playing very well on the net and on coverage.as defense remains our top priority.”

Records: Hoover (0-1); Marshall Fundamental (8-3)
