Coaches' Notes

"Player of the Match is Faith Alvior. Played with control and deliberate action.  She challenged their defenders at times and also quickly placed an attack in the open court.  When needed, she produced a high performing play.

Everyone played and our backcourt made some great hustle plays. We really focused our efforts from the service line.

Coach Greg has really taken leadership in this aspect and gotten results of tougher serves from everyone. Confidence comes from any win and the timing of this is great heading into conference matches."

Westcliff Volleyball will be playing in the Divisional Series at Simpson against UC Merced at 2pm and Simpson at 8pm on Oct 3rd.
