SBCC spikers triumph in five

SANTA MONICA — Samantha Potter pounded 27 kills for SBCC and Chelsey Forrey provided superior serving Tuesday night to spark a come-from-behind 25-27, 23-25, 25-13, 25-22, 15-10 women’s volleyball victory at Santa Monica. It was the first win of the season for the young Vaqueros (1-3).

“Chelsey gave us unbelievable serving to get us back in the match,” said Coach Ed Gover. “She had great locations in Games 3 and 5 that led to 4 or 5 points in a row.”

Gover also praised the setting of Amelia Shugrue and the defense of Vanessa Shaw (15 digs).

“We showed great composure (after dropping the first two games),” Gover added. “We started siding out, started swinging hard and then we got great serving from Chelsey.”

SBCC will host its own Quad Tournament on Saturday, with the Western State Conference (SBCC, Cuesta) taking on the Orange Empire Conference (Golden West, Fullerton). SBCC will battle 17-time state champion Golden West (4-0) at noon, followed by Fullerton at 4 p.m.
