From STAFF REPORTS
Gabrielino is not only the reigning Mission Valley League champs, the Eagles had not dropped a single game in league play before Wednesday’s match at Marshall.
And they extended the streak to 30 league games played and 30 league games won.
Gabrielino defeated Marshall by scores of 25-9, 25-14 and 25-21.
Sophomore setter Malia Wilson had a team-high 12 digs and 9 assists to go along with her two kills.
Sophomore setter Bora Lim added 6 more assists and 6 digs.
Senior outside hitter Risejah Velasco had 6 kills and 7 digs.
Junior outside hitter LIlah Fontentot added 5 kills and 2 digs.
Junior defensive specialist Emily Plasencia contributed 3 digs.
Marshall has two more matches in 2018.
The Eagles will travel to Rosemead on Friday and host Arroyo next Wednesday afternoon.
Both matches are of the Mission Valley League variety.
Quotable:
Marshall coach Sang Lee: “Although we got swept, we played hard and lost to a quality team. One trademark of this team is that we never give up. We tend to play better later into each match. It shows character that we can bounce back and play tough despite the circumstances. Our two seniors, Risejah Velasco and North Steinbacher, are showing leadership. They are motivating the girls to finish each match until the last point.”
Marshall freshman middle blocker Kelaiyah Johnston: “During the first two sets, we were holding onto the rope, but in the third set, we found a way to tug. We weren’t doing anything special until the third set. We started playing smart and found a way to get up there with them.”
Records: Marshall (9-13 overall,. 4-6 in league); Gabrielino (22-10, 10-0)
