Women’s volleyball team saved by its freshmans in the third set

Coming off the bench, the freshman provided an instant spark for the Warriors; giving the team its win against East Los Angeles College.

The Warriors defeated East L.A. College in three sets 25-8, 25-21, 25-23.

“We worked different players in so that everyone got a chance to play. I wanted to mix the lineup,” Le Valley Pattison, coach, said.

“Different players struggled, I changed the lineup again we finally settled in and was able to get the win,” Pattison said.

Suekalena Tafao, setter, led the way with 11 digs and 29 assists; Allison Lim, setter, chipped in with 13 digs; Ashley Morimoto, setter, had an even game with four kills, seven digs and one ace, which are freshman.

“My passing, serving and being consistent I just want to be the best I can be,” Tafao said.

The Warriors got a lot of help from its bench players.

“Our bench players pulled through, they really helped us,” Tafao said.

“She (Tafao) did a good job passing, and played a lot as well,” Pattison said.

Pattison still thinks the team can improve on its offense.

“We did a lot of watching we have to do a better job, buying into the idea that we have to be fast and create more offense by digging balls out,” Pattison said.

Pattison said she was pleased that her team got the win, even though the game was brutal.

On Sept. 21 the Warriors played against Fullerton, they beat them in three straight games 25-23, 25-15, 25-19.

Suekalena Tafao, setter, dished out 29 assist, Tarryn Luafalemana had 16 kills and six digs.

It was as an evenly match game as there were 14 ties and five lead changes in the game.

The Warriors next game is at home tomorrow against Long Beach City College at 6 p.m.
