Mark Hebda had a career match but SBCC still came up short on Wednesday night in a 3-1 men’s volleyball loss to L.A. Pierce in Woodland Hills. The scores were 37-35, 24-30, 30-28, 30-20.
The Vaqueros (7-6, 2-4) had four set points in the opening set, which was their longest of the season.
Hebda, a sophomore from Bishop Diego High, had 17 kills, eight blocks and hit a sizzling .538. Miles Evans had 15 kills, Andrew Thomason had 11 digs and Cody Zoesch blocked eight balls.
“We blocked really well,” said coach Melody Parker. “We did a lot of things well. Those first three games could have gone either way. That was some of the best volleyball I’ve seen all year — by both teams.”
The Vaqueros will play three of their last four matches at home, starting Friday at 6 p.m. against El Camino.
