The LBCC women’s beach volleyball team swept Victor Valley College by a score of 5-0 in the conference season on Friday.
On court one, Vikings Lizbeth Lopez and Karyzma Aualiita won 21-1, 21-5.
On court two, Vikings Jennifer Lias and Celestrial Ropati won 21-10, 21-7.
On court three, Vikings Caleyse Saunders and Pearlnaiah Tuliau won 21-4, 21-3.
On court four, Vikings Janieva Taunuu and Amanda Ferreira-Felipe won 21-5, 21-2.
On court five, Vikings Emma Pearson and Arianna Ortiz won 21-1, 21-2.
This is the Vikings’ second time defeating VVC without having to play a third set on any of the courts this season.
“We did a lot of conditioning to prepare for today’s match. It was important because it allowed us to stay in shape, which ultimately helped us pay attention throughout the match without getting tired and it made it a lot easier for us to get the win,” LBCCs Caleyse Saunders said after the first match.
This win gives the Vikings a record of 3-1 in the conference season with six games to go until the South Coast Conference Pairs tournament.
“Victor Valley has great ball control, however, as a team, we’ve been putting in a lot of work to sharpen our skills leading up to today’s match,” LBCCs Celestrial Ropati said.
The win against VVC comes after LBCC was defeated by their conference rival, El Camino Community College by a score of 3-2 in last week’s match.
Beach Volleyball gets back on the court in their next game against College of the Desert at home on April 6.
College of the Desert currently has an overall record of 8-6 and defeated Mt. San Antonio College by a score of 3-2 in their most recent match.
