Simler serves up SBCC’s fourth straight

Jenny Simler served the last seven points on Tuesday night and aced the final three serves as the SBCC women’s volleyball squad stayed hot with a 25-10, 25-11, 25-10 sweep of Oxnard in the Sports Pavilion.

The Vaqueros improved to 7-9 overall and 5-1 in the WSC with their fourth straight win and sixth in seven matches.

“It’s always fun to play at home and we gave a good steady performance,” said coach Ed Gover. “Everyone got in and they all played in a good rhythm.”

The Vaqueros got 16 kills from their middle attack with Tara Ahern notching 10 and Angelica Smith adding six. Left-hander Maria Mayer had seven kills.

SBCC recorded 12 aces with Simler and setter Amelia Shugrue collecting three apiece.

“Jenny serves all day in practice to the A team, so she has to be good,” said Gover. “It was great to watch, so nice to see a kid excel in a setting like that. And Roxanne Solomita did a great job of setting in the third game.”

 The Vaqueros travel to Moorpark on Friday for a first-place showdown with the unbeaten Raiders.
