By Tony Lee On Saturday, December 05, 2009
Despite the playing the No. 4 seeded Sierra College, the No. 1 seeded Orange Coast College's women's volleyball team was upset by the Wolverines Friday (Dec. 4), 25-22, 18-25, 25-20, 26-24, at the California Community College Athletic Association state championships.

In its first match in the loser's bracket, the lady Pirates (21-3) eliminated San Joaquin Delta College 25-21, 25-22, 24-26, 25-18 to stay alive in the tournament.

Coast will play the loser of today's morning match at 1 p.m. and win another game after that to stay alive in the tournament. Coast will also need to win at least twice Sunday to claim the program's third state title in the last five seasons.

Freshman setter Kimya Jafroudi had 64 assists against Delta, Poe Gantt had 26 kills and Nikki Osuna had 20 digs.

Against Sierra, Gantt led the lady Pirates with 19 kills and Osuna had 18 digs.

That 18 digs set the single-season record for digs, previously held by Ashlee Moon (451 in 2006), and Osuna now has 473 heading into today.
