One word can describe the Warriors’ season
so far, and it’s victory. The Warriors have yet to
lose a game and the numbers seem to agree, as
they are currently ranked No. 1 of California
community college teams.
They took their 4-0 record on the road to
San Diego to play in the San
Diego Mesa Tournament
this past weekend. The team
came out undefeated, win-
ning all four games that they
played.
“We did great this week-
end,” coach LeValley said.
“The team played well and is
slowly and steadily improv-
ing.”
Their teamwork showed
on the court.
The Warriors were once
again led by sophomore Ki-
ley Tamblyn, who was named
MVP of the tournament.
“We haven’t lost yet, but
we still have a lot to work on,” Tamblyn said.
“This tourney pointed out what we really need
to work on this season.”
El Camino took on San Bernardino in the
first game and won 25-13, 25-19, and 25-10.
Things did not go as smoothly as they took
on Long Beach in the second game.
The Warriors lost the first set 18-25 and
would come back in the next three sets with
scores of 25-15, 25-10, and 25-18.
The third game was the closest game of the
tournament as the Warriors faced Cypress in
the semi-finals. This was a rematch of the EC
classic a week ago.
The Warriors took the first set 25-20, but lost
the next set 23-25.
With the game tied at one set apiece, the
Warriors stepped up their game and won 25-
14.
The final set would prove to be a tight one,
but the Warriors won the game 26-24.
“It took the whole team to win. I just do my
little part hoping everyone
else will do theirs because
it takes six ladies to win the
game,” Tamblyn said.
EC played Moorpark in
the finals and came out vic-
torious.
The Warriors came out
flat in the first set and were
down early 12-2.
EC came back to win 29-
27 and rolled through the
next two sets to capture the
championship with a score
of 25-14.
“We played well and we
still have things to get better
at, but we are playing well together right now,”
Sarah Prather said.
The Warriors have an action packed week
ahead of them.
They will play a game at home today at 7 p.m.
against Mt. San Antonio.
Then they will hit the road to take on Ven-
tura and Los Angeles Trade Tech tomorrow.
The game against L.A. Trade Tech will start
off the Warriors’ conference schedule.
