From Staff Reports

Maranatha started the season 0-9 and there was no reason to think things were going to get any better, because seven of the losses were via sweep.

But the Minutemen have now won two matches in a row.

They swept Upland, 25-15, 25-18 and 25-19 against a Highlanders team that swept them a month ago.

Jesse Elrod had a huge effort with 17 kills, 10 digs, 2 blocks and 2 aces.

Swinnie Mason added 12 kills, 25 digs and an ace.

Ben Samuels had 5 kills, 8 digs and 3 blocks.

Josiah Rojas contributed 22 assists, 5 digs and 2 aces.

Maranatha will look for a third win tomorrow (Wednesday) when they face off with Pasadena at 4.

Quotable:

Maranatha coach Eli Cuenca: “Our boys volleyball has some talented players, but in a small school, our athletes are involved in many things, other sports, theater, advanced placement, etc. We when get our full squad practicing and playing together, it makes a mighty difference. I am confident we can carry our momentum into our final league matches. Our boys are coming together and it’s exciting.”
