Women’s volleyball was my third sports competition of the day and it was filled with the most drama.  Santa Monica College, hosting Citrus College in women’s volleyball, quickly took a 2-0 set lead.  The third set, a test of wills for both teams, ended with Citrus scoring the last two points to win 31-29.  The momentum swing Citrus was riding continued into the fourth set resulting in a fifth and final set.  SMC jumped out first and Citrus could never pull even.  SMC won the final set 15-11.  SMC defeated Citrus by scores of 26-24, 25-16, 29-31, 20-25, 15-11.

Mariko Coverdale, Assistant Coach of Santa Monica College, said after the game, “We really needed that win.” Coverdale continued, “[It's] given us a confidence boost. The last couple of matches we haven’t been the most confident so I think we really needed that, especially in the fifth set.  It’s awesome for the girls and a good push to start the second half of the season.”

LA Valley netted 38 combined goals.  The photos below are a collection of images of the SMC goalies in net.
