COS goes on the road to defeat merced

10/8/15

The COS volleyball team traveled to Merced  and defeated the Blue Devils in three straight sets (25-19, 25-17, 25-21). The win made it a back-to-back, three-set win for the Giants in league as they beat Porterville in three sets last Friday night. The Giants are now 5-3 overall and 3-1 in Central Valley Conference play.

COS had stellar individual performances in the victory over Merced. Freshmen outside hitter Idalis Rubalcava (Sierra Pacific) led the team in kills with 17. "She has been a consistent threat at the net for us all year" said head coach Kim Rix. Another stellar performer at the net for the Giants is 6'1" freshmen middle blocker KiAnna Cunningham (Woodlake) who had a .833 hitting percentage on the night. Defensively Mikayla Maggini (Riverdale) was the standout for the night with numerous blocks late in each of the three games. "Mikayla has come along nicely this season. She does a lot of things for the team that don't show up on the stat sheet. I am excited to see how the rest of conference play goes" said Rix. 

The Giants will play Reedley at home Friday (tonight) at 6pm and look to take three league victories in a row.
