Centaurs Spikers Swept in League Match

The Lady Centaurs fell to Ocean League rival Santa Monica on Wednesday.

Just one day after playing a nonleague match against Windward, the Culver City High girls volleyball team looked sluggish in Wednesday's 25-10, 25-18, 25-18 home loss to defending Ocean League champion Santa Monica.

The Lady Centaurs never held a lead as the visitors used early scoring runs to take command of each set. The teams will meet again Oct. 20 at Santa Monica.

"A lot of our matches and games are close right now," Culver City Coach Christopher Fraijo said. "Errors seem to be haunting us right now—hitting errors and serving errors, mainly. If we can rectify those two areas of our game, I think we will be okay." 
 
Tiara Wallace led the Lady Centaurs with eight kills, Torrey Mitsunaga had 12 assists and Mychelle Hale and Ashanti Stewart each had eight digs. Hale had 23 service receptions with only two errors and Stewart had 10 receptions with two errors. Wallace leads Culver City with 75 kills and Mitsunaga, a senior setter, has 21 service aces and 130 assists so far this season.

Culver City (1-6-1 overall, 1-1 in league) continues league play next week, traveling to Inglewood on Tuesday and hosting Beverly Hills on  Thursday. Culver City and Beverly Hills tied for second place last season after splitting their head-to-head matches.
