The Mira Costa girls volleyball team swept West High School at West on Oct. 12 in the Mustangs’ second Bay League game of the season.
Mira Costa’s record is 7-5 for the season and 2-0 in Bay League.
“We played well. However, I would like to see more energy on the court and more ownership of the game from the girls,” coach Lisa Zimmerman said.
Both teams played hard during the first game, which made for a close competition. It looked like it was going to be a close call with West at a score of 20, but the Mustangs pulled through in a three-point run and finished the first game with a score of 25-20.
The Mustangs then managed to find their way and take control of the match. They swept the Warriors, finishing the second and third games with scores of 25-13 and 25-16, respectively. Costa served effectively and moved the ball around the court, making very few errors in the process.
The top performer of the game was senior outside hitter Emma White, who accumulated 12 kills, five digs, and two aces all while making no errors. Another top contributor was senior middle blocker Ella Rosenfeld, who excelled with 10 kills, one dig, and four blocks. Sophomore Kelsey McIntire and junior Kate Kious also made notable contributions.
Today the Mustangs will travel to Torrey Pines High School for a tournament. Costa will be participating in games throughout the day and the tournament will finish on Saturday.
