Wearing their back-to-back champion tees Moorpark Women’s Volleyball cruised to a third WSC championship title.
Moorpark won in three games over Cuesta Community College in dominating fashion.
Moorpark Head Coach Steve Burkhart said after the game that the key of the game was the strong play of the sophomore stars.
“I thought the kids played with a lot of heart and hung in there,” said Burkhart. “The sophomore kids really played well and came through.”
Moorpark started off strong winning game one 25-10 and game two 25-14. Cuesta came back strong in game 3 however, and due to scoring mistakes, managed to take game three into overtime, but Moorpark managed to pull out the win 27-23.
Stars in the game included Michelle Tanaka, Karissa Flack, Erika Smith and Jessica Soprano.
Michelle Tenaka finished the game with 7 Aces and 4 digs. Her strong serves managed to keep Moorpark in game 3.
Karissa Flack was dominant on the net with 15 kills and two blocks.
Erica Smith turned in a strong defensive performance with 12 defensive digs. Jessica Soprano led her team with 17 assists.
Looking to the future playoffs Coach Burkhart said that, “we’ll have a road game, so we’ll have to be tough and focused.”
