The Fulton Lady Hornets volleyball team appeared distracted and it resulted in its first North Central Missouri Conference loss of the season.
Fulton fell to 4-2 on the season and 2-1 in the NCMC after bowing to Boonville 25-14, 20-25 and 25-19 on Thursday night at Roger D. Davis Gymnasium.
"We had a rough start and a rough end - we seemed preoccupied," Lady Hornets head coach Megan Youse said. "We can't figure out how to play together as a unit.
"We had a lot of little mental errors and Boonville took advantage."
Senior libero Amanda Allison topped Fulton with 16 digs and sophomore outside hitter Kate Pani contributed 13 digs and five aces. Senior setter Kenzie Shaw supplied five aces and handed out 20 assists.
The Lady Hornets (3-3) tumbled in the junior varsity match 25-7 and 25-9. Junior setter Colleen Van Norman finished with four assists, four digs and an ace.
Fulton (1-3-1) lost the freshman match 25-12 and 25-12.
The Lady Hornets host their 29th-annual Fulton Invitational on Saturday. The Lady Hornets begin play against California at 8:30 a.m.
