Learning from missteps in a tournament loss to Shawnee just days earlier, El Reno High School’s volleyball team upset the Class 5A ninth-ranked Wolves to kick off Suburban Conference play.

El Reno, ranked No.14 in the same poll, improved to 9-7 on the season with the 25-16/21-25/25-20/25-16 victory.

The Indians moved to 2-2 on the year in non-tournament matches and 2-1 inside Jenks Simmons Field House.

Neither squad served well over the four games with El Reno closing at 86 percent, while Shawnee slipped to 79 percent after committing 16 serving errors.

El Reno lost three games last week to rain.

The Indians will make up a game with Midwest City (9/23) and two with Santa Fe South (9/25).

No date on the Union City game has been given.
