Despite giving Cerritos College women’s volleyball team a run for its money in one game, Santa Ana still ended up getting whipped in the other two games 29-17, 29-8 and 30-23.

Assistant Athletic Director Jeanine Prindle said that the match against Sacramento City College at Cerritos was canceled, because Sacramento would not be able to fly to Southern California.

“The game will not be made up, because both of the teams are in different conferences and they will not have the time.”

In the first game middle blocker/right sitter Michelle Perkins tied the game at 2-2 with a kill. Then she had another kill that gave the Falcons a 6-4 led.

Offensive hitter Arelyn Gallardo made the score 9-6 on a serve. The Falcons blew out Santa Ana in the first game 29-17.

In the second game, middle blocker/Offensive hitter Tiffany Amete gave the Falcons a 7-2 lead with a kill.

Setter Berlin Mika helped the Falcons destroy Santa Ana’s hopes of winning the second game on a kill, making the final 29-8.

Middle blocker Vanessa Cid helped the Falcons finish the Dons with a block, giving the Falcons a 30-23 win.

Falcon head coach Teresa Ortega said, “I think we improved a lot by playing the tournament at Arizona. It helped us build a better team.” Amete said that the team did pretty well. “For the Cypress Tournament we need to work on our passing. Everything went well.”

Perkins said, “I think we worked better as a team, we were all talking to each other.”
