The LBCC women’s volleyball team fell to another defeat in the conference season after losing 3-0 to Rio Hondo on Friday.
The Vikings lost the first set 25-17 and the second set 25-19.
The third set saw the Vikings fall short of taking the game to a fourth set by losing 25-20.
This is the third loss in the conference season for LBCC after playing three games.
The Vikings are currently missing key players, with coach Tyler Jackson allowing the newcomers to play and gain experience this season.
“The team is in a really difficult spot in the season. We have five of our starters out and it’s showing. We have a lot of injuries this year and grades,” said Coach Jackson.
The Vikings have failed to win any of their sets in the last two conference games against Pasadena and Rio Hondo.
“Moving forward we need to clean it up and pick up our offense. Our defense was there, we just need to put the ball away,” said outside hitter Brandi Ramirez.
With the team’s defensive and offensive capabilities, Jackson hopes her team can start becoming more aggressive offensively and stay relaxed when the ball is returned to their side of the court.
“Right now we’re so fragile, we’re so scared to make a mistake that we’re not being aggressive,” said Jackson on the team’s defensive and offensive performances.
Currently, the Viking’s conference record stands at 0-3 with the team’s only win this season coming in pre-season.
The Vikings come back onto the court in the conference season traveling to El Camino on Oct. 5 at 6 p.m.
