LBCC’s women’s volleyball team lost 3-1 in their game on Wednesday against Cypress.
Coming onto the court in the first set, the Vikings made a strong presence with a 25-27 win, but were unable to hold that.
The Vikings lost the second set 25-21, the third set 25-19, and the fourth set 25-19.
Outside Hitter, Danika Iosua (44), stood out by scoring a total of 18 kills; the most of any player throughout the game.
They came into this game off a win against College of the Desert (3-1) but that win was the only win so far out of their six games played thus far.
The loss on Wednesday is not new for the Viking’s this season. Their early season seems to be off to a rocky start due to a number of reasons.
Brandi Ramirez (6), an outside hitter for the Vikings, hopes that the team can build more trust in each other and that they’ll be able to complete the plays needed to win moving forward throughout the season.
“I think my team has had better performances,” said Ramirez.
Head coach, Tyler Jackson, gave some reasoning for their rocky start stating the team lost some kids due to “academic issues” and others who are out on injury.
Nonetheless, coach Jackson is still proud of the performances displayed by the team and has high hopes for the rest of their season.
“I just ask that they keep working hard and improving,” said Coach Jackson, “we have a lot of players who weren’t expecting to get playing time, be out on the court… and I’m proud of them for fighting and trying their best.”
The Viking’s next game will take place on Sept 21 at 6 p.m. against East Los Angeles.
