From STAFF REPORTS
Marshall coach Sang Lee is very measured in assessing where his girls volleyball program is at.
In just his second year, and only a month into the 2018 season, the Eagles are just one win from matching last year’s win total (8) and they’ve already surpassed their league win tally of 2017.
On Monday, the Eagles welcomed AGBU of Pasadena for a nonleague match.
And while the Spartans took an early advantage, Marshall rebounded and won three consecutive sets to secure the victory.
Marshall won by scores of 15-25, 26-24, 25-11 and 25-15.
Sophomore setter Malia Wilson finished with 13 assists, 12 digs, 4 aces and one kill.
Senior outside hitter Risejah Velasco added 9 digs, 9 aces, and 6 kills.
Junior middle blocker Samia Dinniene had 5 kills and 1 dig.
Sophomore opposite hitter Bora Lim contributed 11 digs, 3 assists, and 5 kills.
Senior defensive specialist North Steinbacher added finished with 6 digs, 3 aces and one kill.
And last but not least, sophomore outside hitter Sophia Hatum had 7 digs and 3 aces.
Marshall will travel to Gabrielino on Wednesday at 3:15 as Mission League play resumes for the Eagles.
Quotable:
Marshall assistant coach Nicole Busdeker: “We played aggressively, more than we typically do on offense. There was a difference in our energy and attitude (after the first set). We started to minimize our own errors. We are looking forward to having a great season.”
Marshall outside hitter Sophia Hatum: “We played strong. We were together, like sisters. We were all happy on the court and worked together well. We brought the score back up. We were a little shaky at first, but we all got focused and didn’t let go of the rope. It was fun having Coach B coach us today. She did a great job.”
Records: AGBU (5-4); Marshall (7-7)
