Valley Center’s varsity volleyball team sent off its seniors in style with a big 3–0 win over Del Norte on senior night at VCHS on Thursday.
The Lady Jaguars held on through a tough first game to dominate the final two for final game scores of 25–22, 25–17, 25–13.
Both teams traded points for the majority of the first game, with Del Norte finally taking a two-point lead at 9–7. But the Lady Jags came right back and took a two-point lead at 12–10, then built on the lead until they were up 17–13 on an ace by Laura Glennie. The Lady Nighthawks couldn’t make up any more ground and lost the game by three.
Valley Center came out on fire to start the second game, taking the first three points, but Del Norte responded and tied the game at six. Sidney Reilly got a spike that put the Lady Jags back in front, and they did not relinquish the lead in taking the game by eight points.
Del Norte jumped ahead early in the third game, putting Valley Center behind 7–1, but the Lady Jags stormed back to tie the score at nine. The teams battled to a tie at 11, but the Lady Jaguars went on an eight-point run to put the game out of reach and take the game by 12 points.
The big win puts the Lady Jaguars (17–12) in the No. 4 slot of the CIF Division III rankings, which means they will play tonight (Wednesday) at home against Olympian at 7 p.m.
The winner of tonight’s match will play again on Saturday at 5 p.m. in the second round.
