GVB: Owls eat up Dons in the sand

Josie Doughty and Laurel Kujan won a nail-biting three-set match on Tuesday as the Laguna Blanca beach volleyball team defeated visiting Santa Barbara High 4-1 in Hope Ranch.

The teams of Kelly Bickett/Caylin Zimmerman, Kendall White/Sophia Fay and Emily Lafitte/Julia Fay also picked up wins. Overall, six of the eight victorious Owl players were freshmen.

“It’s great how successful we’ve been so far, but this is also hard for me because I have 14 girls fighting for 10 positions. I guess it’s a good problem to have, especially because a lot of them are freshmen,” said coach Mike Maas. “The future is bright in this program.”

The Owls (2-0) host Dos Pueblos on Thursday.
