Williams 3 – Los Molinos 0 (10/11)
Williams 3 – CORE Butte 0 (10/13)
Williams continued to roll last week sweeping both Los Molinos and CORE Butte in home matches.
Against Los Molinos, after a close first set, the Yellowjackets dismantled the Bulldogs to come away with the 25-21, 25-4, 25-8 win, although no statistics from the match were available.
Hosting CORE Butte two nights later, the ‘Jackets, suiting up just six players, still made short work of the Lynx 25-15, 25-13, 25-14.
Mia Rivera struck for 10 kills, Trinity Tungasmita doled out 15 assists, and Ashley Garcia served five aces to lead Williams.
Additionally, Coach Darren Robinson pointed to the effort by Valeria Vargas who, due to the lack of available players, was pressed into playing middle.
“Val really stepped up for us because we didn’t have Alexa [Barrera] and Emily [Arreola],” said Robinson. “She did a great job for her first time ever playing front row in that position.”
Williams (16-7, 7-1) began the final week of the regular season on Oct. 18 with a showdown against Hamilton City, where the winner claimed the MVL title. The team heads to Biggs tonight for its final conference match. ■
