The girls were extremely hyper for photos before their
first match against Country Day in the BCI. They hadn't
seen a camera at their games in a while!

La Jolla swept all three of its games in pool play on Friday, Sept. 26, in its own annual mega-tournament, the Beach City Invitational of volleyball. Then the Vikes lost two of three on the second day of play Sat., Sept. 27. That puts their record a squeak above .500 at 6-5.
In their opening match Friday against Country Day, who graduated six seniors, Viking middle hitter-blocker Emma Willis registered 10 kills in 14 attempts. Her alter ego in the middle, Madeleine Gates, another 6'2" dynamo, had 5 kills in 7 attempts.
Poor Country Day, right now the "poor relation" in the city rivalry with a young, inexperienced team, took it on the chin in two straight games. The Vikings won the first game 25-16, but Coach Drew Burdette showed some frustration along the way as his charges built a commanding lead, then committed some errors and lost a skein of points that allowed the Torreys to creep back into the contest.
