From STAFF REPORTS<\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s early on and a lot of matches to be played.<\/p>\n

But as of Friday, Marshall’s girls volleyball program has already surpassed last year’s output in Mission League victories.<\/p>\n

The Eagles swept El Monte and are now 2-1 in league. Last year, Marshall went 1-11 in league competition.<\/p>\n

Marshall defeated Mission Valley League foe El Monte by scores of 25-20, 25-13 and 25-21.<\/p>\n

Marshall led throughout, but almost lost the lead in the third set. Marshall regained late momentum in the third set to close the match.<\/p>\n

Marshall rebounded from a loss to South El Monte in four sets on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Senior outside hitter Risejah Velasco had a team-high 10 kills and 4 digs.<\/p>\n

Sophomore setter\/opposite hitter Bora Lim had a personal-best 12 assists to go along with a team-high 9 digs.<\/p>\n

Junior middle blocker Samia Dinniene had a career-high 9 kills, 6 coming in the decisive third set.<\/p>\n

Sophomore setter\/opposite hitter Malia Wilson added a team-best 18 assists.<\/p>\n

Sophomore outside hitter Sophia Hatum had 3 aces and junior outside hitter Lilah Fontenot added 4 kills.<\/p>\n

Marshall will host AGBU of Pasadena on Monday at 4:30 in a nonleague match.<\/p>\n

Quotable:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Marshall coach Sang Lee:<\/strong> “It was a big win for us because we just came off a league loss. It’s a confidence booster, and I have a feeling every single league match will matter this year. We played more consistently today, and I’m proud of the way we battled. We can still improve on certain areas, so I’m hopeful we will continue to grow.”<\/p>\n

Marshall setter Bora Lim:<\/strong> “Our teamwork was good and we didn’t lose our focus. We kept our momentum on and I’m really proud of the whole team. We played a lot differently than last time. We never looked at the scoreboard. We weren’t playing frantic. If we keep playing more and more like this, I think we will have a good season.”<\/p>\n

Records:<\/strong> Marshall (6-7, 2-1); El Monte (0-7-1, 0-2)<\/p>\n
