Lady Pirates win its season and home opener

By Tony Lee On Wednesday, September 09, 2009


The lady Pirates are off to a good start by defeating Glendale College 25-5, 25-18 and 25-13 in its home and season opener today (Sept. 9) at the Peterson Gym.

Sophomore Briana Fields led the team with 12 kills and sophomore Poerava Gantt added 10 for the lady Pirates.

Freshman setter Kimya Jafroudi had 24 assists and sophomore Nikki Osuna had 15 digs in the contest.

"Our energy was going good," Fields said. "We had some let downs in the second and third games but like the fact that our energy stayed up was good."

In that second game, Coast trailed 2-1 and it was the only time the lady Pirates trailed in the day.

"Once you beat a team by 20, you kind of are just like, 'Eh' but we shouldn't have thought like that but they came back with some fire.

After the lady Pirates tied it up at 7-7, Fields had one of her 12 kills to go up a point on Glendale and win the first match of the season.

"Nikki, our libero, played really well. So did Amanda (Cheseborough) and then the middles Kristin (Rice) and Alex (Mainini) did an awesome job today," Fields said.

Coast (1-0) plays Friday (Sept. 11) at San Diego Mesa College and will return home Sept. 18 against Citrus College. Both games start at 6 p.m.
