The International varsity volleyball team made an awesome comeback in the first game of its match with Cambridge, which the Griffins went on to win 2-0 in their gym Tuesday.
The Cambridge Knights started out playing really well, and seemed to be on the verge of winning the first game when the score stood at 24-17. But the Griffins, with a lot of effort, fought back to a tie at 25-25, then took the last two points to win the first set 27-25.
The second set seemed even tougher as you just saw the ball going back and forth many times on every point, and points being made by both teams. The last few minutes were really exiting because the score was really close for most of the game, but the Griffins were able to emerge successfully, winning the second set 25-21.
Martin Gonzales, playing though injured, served very well during the comeback for the Griffins.
For Cambridge senior Jorge Yuan made many excellent plays at the net, and served well.

From coaches' reports
The Christian Learning varsity boys volleyball time breezed by the Co-operative School team in the opening game of its match, then scrambled to win the second game by a much thinner margin, 26-24.
David Lotz and Jeff Stabler were both impressive for the Eagles, which also got good performance from two new members of the team, Frankin Chow and Danny Canaviri, who set the ball up for their teammates' spikes.
