LJ VB 3, Bishop's 1

Senior libero Amanda Polcyn recorded 15 digs and fellow senior middle hitter-blocker Madeleine Gates had 17 kills as La Jolla's volleyball team swamped rival Bishop's, 3-1, at Bishop's Wed., Sept. 16.

"Offensively, we were very low error, with great hitting numbers," said second-year Coach Drew Burdette of the convincing non-league victory. "We worked hard all week on defense and defending."

Both departments were strong, as the Vikings won the first two games, 25-18 and 25-15. They struggled a little in game three, dropping it 24-26 as other players substituted in. But then La Jolla closed out the match with a 27-25 overtime win in the fourth game.

Natalie Coy, Savannah Guy, and Gates each had four blocks. Their coach was pleased with the result. "We worked a lot on blocking, and had 12 team blocks, which was big, because Bishop's is very good at hitting off the block out-of-bounds," he said.

Coy had 11 kills, Guy 8, and setter Abby Waldburger 8. Bella Furlanis played well in games one and two, but then suffered a knee injury, "disrupting the team chemistry a bit," in Burdette's words.
