Varsity Boys Volleyball

Eagles easy victors over Knights

The Christian Learning boys varsity volleyball team found the Cambridge team an easy puzzle to solve, as they won by lopsided scores in straight sets Tuesday in the International gym.
The Eagles took the first set 25-12, and then won the second with only marginally more difficulty, 25-15.
Eagle Kyle Swope distinguished himself be being able to both go down low to dig out the ball, and up high to block shots.
The full slate of Eagle-Knight games was moved to International because the Eagles' soccer field was too damp to play on. Thursday games scheduled to be played at Christian Learning will also be at International.

Griffins overcome Jaguars, 2-0

Playing with style and in high good spirits, the International boys varsity volleyball team scored a straight sets victory over Cooperative Tuesday in the Jaguar gym.
International took the first set 25-13, taking the last ten points in a single service run by Christopher Saltzieder. The second set was played on a much more even basis, and the two teams were actually tied at 17-all.

At that point the Griffins managed to make a key improvement in their consistency as they moved ahead, finally taking the set 25-21.
The standouts for International were team captain Rodrigo Bernal, who was all over the court, junior Ernando Tesch, who was the most consistent spiker on the floor.
The Jaguars got outstanding play from 10th grader Juan Abuawad, senior David Shin, and senior Rafael Manzilla.
