With a five-game winning streak on the line and the fans yelling and screaming, the women’s volleyball team found itself in a close game against Pasadena College last Friday.

“The crowd was pretty rowdy and for every point Pasadena made, it got louder and louder,” Celeste Tuioti-Mariner, outside hitter, said.

The Warriors went on to lose the match in four sets 20-25, 24-26, 25-20, 19-25 ending its 32nd game conference.

“They had a lot of people at the gym,” Lindsey Colbert, right-side hitter, said. “It was echoing.”

Assistant coach Jessica Juarez said she thinks Pasadena’s crowd affected the teams’ performance.

“Pasadena has a good crowd. It was difficult to communicate with our players,” Juarez said. “I think it definitely had to do with how the girls played.”

Throughout the game, the Warriors went back-and-forth with Pasadena.

“We won the third game, the whole time we kept going back and forth,” Elise Tizon, outside hitter, said.

Sophomore Nigeria Owens, middle blocker, had a balanced game with eight kills, three blocks and one dig.

“I was consistent,” Owens said. “My blocking could have been better; I made a few hitter errors.”

Le Valley Pattison, coach, said Pasadena outmuscled the Warriors and they kept the ball in play.

“We were in every game and could not close,” Pattison said.

Juarez said she thinks players did not execute down the stretch and errors were made toward the end of the game.

“It was very disappointing. When we would get a point there was no excitement,” Tizon said.

“The little things cost the Warriors their game and we continued to make a lot of hitting and serving errors,” Pattison said.

Despite the loss the team is motivated and ready to compete.

The Warriors’ next game is tomorrow against L.A. Trade Tech.

“This loss was a wakeup call for us,” Juarez said. “We need to focus on the little things.”
