Playing in miserable conditions, the Santa Barbara High girls sand volleyball team split its matches against Arroyo Grande and Santa Ynez at Ventura Harbor on Saturday.
The Dons lost 2-1 against Arroyo Grande and came back to beat Santa Ynez 2-1.
Coach John Gannon said the teams played in 25 mph winds and driving rain.
“These were absolutely the toughest conditions I have ever seen at a beach volleyball tournament,” said Gannon.
Erika Foreman and Rose Lebow were able to brave the elements to post a 2-0 record on the day.
“Their tough serves and strong ball control led them to victory. Lebow did a great job stepping in for injured freshmen Linnea Skinner, and showed resilience battling throughout the day,” said Gannon.
Ally Drevo and Zoe Maritorena ended up 1-1 on the day. After a tough loss to Arroyo Grande, they were able to step up their play and pulled out a close two-set victory over Santa Ynez.
Tatum Vedder and Cassandra Amador dropped both of their matches.
