LJ g VB 3, UC 0
Middle blocker Emma Willis had 12 kills and outside hitter Brynn Duguid 10 as La Jolla's girls volleyball team swept visiting UC 3-0 for the Vikings' first win of the season Wed., Sept. 17. It was La Jolla's first Western League victory, as well. Amanda Polcyn had 15 digs.
The Vikings are now 1-1 in the Western League, 1-2 overall.
The City Schools had not had practice Monday or Tuesday, in addition to the weekend prior, due to the heat wave and ban on workouts for safety reasons. But new coach Drew Burdette was pleased. "There was no telling how we would look during the match. Luckily, the rust was shaken off quickly," said Burdette.
Willis, a 6'2" senior hitter-blocker, was sharp in recording a 69% hitting percentage. Madeleine Gates and Amy Peckham added six kills each. On defense, Abby Waldburger and Ashley Pretorius had seven digs each for a team total of 45 digs.
Said Burdette, "Tonight was especially pleasing in that the things we go over in practice daily are finally translating to the game instinctively."
