“It was nice to see some of the same competition that we’ll see at regionals,” said Durango head coach Colleen Vogt in a phone interview with The Durango Herald. “Our blocking did really well. We had great serving, and all around solid play. We stepped up when we need to.”

Assuming Durango (12-8, 5-5 5A/4A Southwestern League) makes the regional tournament, the Demons will find out who they play when seeding is released on Monday.
