Vikings women’s volleyball team extend their win streak to six games 

Outside hitter Kyla Jones had eight kills to lead the Vikings to a 3-0 win over El Camino on Wednesday at Long Beach City College. 

With this win the Vikings extend their win streak to six and improved their record to 8-8 on the season.

Assistant coach Litara Keila commented on the team’s six game win streak and the overall improvement on the team’s chemistry. 

“It feels good, we’re happy with our performance so far, we’re just trying to reinforce and remind the girls not to get complacent especially at this point in the season, heading half way.

We’re definitely finding our identity a little bit more and more but we’re on the way up to finally figuring it out. We have a little stuff here and there that we need to fix but I think the girls are finally understanding their chemistry and their growth at this point in the season” said Keila.

During the first set, both teams were playing well defensively, but as time went on the Vikings started to pull away and won the set 25-17.

During the second set the Vikings created a big lead with the help of middle blocker Ryleeh Tuaolo, who had 6 kills, and Jones to win the set 25-20.

Jones talked about her performance and what she thought she did well during the game.

“I feel like I did very well today, I was mainly trying to work on hitting lines, that’s what we’ve been practicing in practice and just trying to mix up my shots” said Jones. 

On the final set the Vikings were moving the ball around and were setting each other up for shots. The Vikings won the final set 25-17.  

Tuaolo talked about her performance and how the team feels after the recent wins compared to the beginning of the season. 

“I feel like I did ok, I feel like I could have contributed a bit more, brought a little more energy.

We feel a lot better, we have way more confidence then we did in the beginning of the season.” said Tuaolo.

The next opponent for the Vikings will be their cross town rival Cerritos College. 

“The girls are hyped, some of them were here last year watching sophomore night so they know what it means to play against Cerritos… they’re our rival but we try to remind them again that it’s just another game doesn’t matter anymore or any less than any other opponent,” said Keila.

The Vikings will play their next game away against Los Angeles Harbor College on Wednesday at 6 p.m.
