Dominating the court, the JV White volleyball team the Manor Mustangs in a quick 2-0 match on Friday, Sept. 24. Keeping the lead the entire game, the Warriors ensured a swift victory.
The Warrior’s exemplary skill started to show during the first few serves as Jordyn Choe ‘27 set the tone with three service aces. These three quick points hyped up the crowd and team as Choe served eight more points against the Mustangs until she was eventually stopped. Recovering quickly, the Warriors retrieved possession of the ball now with Quinn Ewert ‘28 serving. The Warriors then kept the ball until the end, shutting out the Mustangs and finishing the first set 25-1 decimating Manor’s morale.
“I feel like it was an easy win, just a bit boring,” Izzy Call ‘28 said. “We were all confident going into the game, and everyone had the mindset that we were going to win.”
Continuing their energy into the second half, the Warriors tried to shut out the game quickly by keeping up their strong serves. Even though they missed some of the serves, they finished the set, only giving up six points in simple mistakes and short-lived rallies by Manor. The Warriors diverged from their normal positions and instead of Grace Toledo ‘28 playing libero, Coach Paul Thailing put in Ashka Rajbhandari ‘28. This eventually, had little effect on the game as the Warriors continued to cut through the Mustang defense.
“It was really fun to be laid back and try new things because we were so ahead,” Call said. “This almost effortless win against Manor just proved that our team has improved an insane amount.”
The Warriors will play their next home game against Vista Ridge on Tuesday, Oct. 8 at 5:30 p.m. to continue their streak of excellence.
