PRESCOTT-Prescott Tigers Volleyball defeated Sunnyside Christian during a home match on March 4. Set scores were 25-13, 25-14, and 25-18.
Coach Bob Young shared that the Tigers bettered their season record as they started their second trip around the league. Prescott avenged its loss to the Knights in the opening match of the season by controlling the match from start to finish. The Tigers won the service, serve receive, net play, and hustle balls.
The Tigers served at 86% with 17 aces. The team's Seniors were on fire against Sunnyside Christian, with Senior Frida Gonzalez serving seven aces, Senior Jena Rowlette with two aces, six kills, and two blocks, and Senior Karina Quiroz tallied three aces.
"That was fun. The girls are really executing well. Tonight, they did a great job of limiting their unforced errors and limiting the runs of Sunnyside," said Young. "I'm really happy to see them exuding confidence. We've shown that from the service line the last two matches as we're putting great pressure on our opponent's serve receive. Our seniors Frida, Jena, and Karina were outstanding."
The Tigers next game, against Yakama Nation Tribal Schools (YNTS), ended with yet another victory for Prescott, bringing the season record to 5-2. Set scores against YNTS were 25-19, 25-11, 25-20.
Tigers served up 21 aces against YNTS, led by Gonzalez's six and Quiroz's four. Junior Angeles Ayala tallied four kills, three aces, and two blocks.
"The girls took care of business today. We started off with seven service errors in the first set, but settled down in the second, and finished strong in the third. It was a team effort," Young said. "No one player stood out, but everyone contributed across the board. We've now won three straight in straight sets. We're really playing together. It's a coach's dream."
