The Aspen High School volleyball team won for the first time under new coach Brittany Zanin on Thursday night, beating rival Basalt 3-1 inside the BHS gymnasium.<\/p>\n

It was the 15th straight win for the Skiers over the Longhorns, dating back to a season sweep in 2012, according to MaxPreps.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe needed that more than anything,\u201d Zanin said. \u201cI wish they would have done it in three. They played well. They played well together, finally. It happened.\u201d<\/p>\n

The first two sets on Thursday were tightly contested, with Aspen winning the first, 26-24, and Basalt taking the second, 25-23. The Skiers took charge from there, winning both the third and fourth set by a score of 25-19.<\/p>\n

The win snapped an 0-3 start to the season for the Skiers after losses to Roaring Fork, Moffat County and Summit. Now 1-3, Aspen will host Olathe on Saturday afternoon. Varsity is scheduled for a 1 p.m. start.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey finally have roles now,\u201d Zanin said of her team. \u201cThey have spots. I\u2019m not going to change them around, so they are feeling more confident and comfortable.\u201d<\/p>\n

Basalt dropped to 3-5 overall. The Longhorns had won three of four games after an 0-3 start to the season. BHS travels to Rifle on Saturday.<\/p>\n
