Displaying precision and power, the International School varsity girls volleyball team extended their undefeated record to 4-0 with a victory against Christian Learning Thursday. The game was played at Christian Learning.
The Griffins won the first game by a score of 25-15, and then took the second 25-19. International continues to lead the league.
The loss brought Christian Learning’s record to 1-3, placing them in a tie for third place with Cambridge.
The Eagles fell behind at the start of the first game 9-3, then closed the gap to 13-12. However, the Griffins were able to keep the pressure on with a mixture of spikes, precisely placed returns, and booming serves, and gradually pulled away. Volleyball is a game where consistency can be all important, and Christian Learning started making too many mistakes to win against a team as good as International's.
Still, a number of the Eagle girls distinguished themselves. Kaylen Lampen had some superb spikes. Roxy Jien did some excellent serving and setting. Sabrina Hallock didn’t have her best game, but still pulled off some very nice spikes along with a few good serves. Alejandra Valencia was a powerhouse server in this game, and also did some excellent setting.
