Shorthanded volleyball team smashes Santa Monica College

Shorthanded+volleyball+team+smashes+Santa+Monica+College

Staring adversity in the face, the Warriors started out with a two game lead over Santa Monica College last Friday and never looked back.

Injuries plagued the Warriors this week as three starters went down and players were asked to step up their game.

Some players started in new positions last week while others took on new responsibilities but as a team, it found a way to pull it together.

“It was a great week for us,” coach Dick Blount said. “A win on the road and a win at home. We came back from some adversity, having three players go down with injuries this week.”

A win against the Corsairs puts the Warriors at 3-2 in their conference and 7-5 overall.

The Warriors will face Santa Barbara City College in a conference game on Friday at 6 p.m.

Outside hitter Kyle Burgoyne, has a knee injury while Jonathon Pettit and Lawrence Tran are suffering from ankle injuries and they will try to recover and play in the next game.

The Warriors will look for revenge after losing a road game to the Vaqueros earlier this season and with the upcoming match at home, the team will have home field advantage against its rivals.

“Having the next few conference games at home is good for us,” Burgoyne, outside hitter said. “We have a very high percentage when we play at home.”
