Ventura stops Royals in Channel League opener

Ventura’s boys volleyball team got the best of San Marcos in four games on Tuesday night, as the Cougars took the Channel League opener for both teams 25-18, 22-25, 25-12, 25-17 in Ventura.

“I think our serve-receive was very hit-miss tonight,” said Royals head coach Roger Kuntz. “They were in system more than we were, and I think that was the difference in the match.”

Ben Mckenzie provided a strong presence at the net for the Royals and Neil Holliday did a good job of distributing the ball according to Kuntz.

San Marcos, 11-3 overall, falls to 0-1 in league play with Santa Barbara on the schedule for Thursday.
