The VC volleyball team had another long trip Wednesday coming home with a victory in hand. The Pirates traveled to San Diego Mesa College and pulled out a razor-close 25-23, 26-24, 25-23 win over the Olympians, making the three-hour ride home a pleasant one. Brooklyn Wallet led the attack with 11 kills with a .450 hitting percentage while Morgan Gallagher recorded nine winners. Shantalle Ruiz had eight kills and Gabby Boado handed out 22 assists. Faith Mackie led the defense with 20 digs.
The Pirates' sweep came by the closest margin possible with two-point victories in each set. Raphaella Rosales handed out 18 assists with eight digs and Boado added 10 digs. Gallagher added a pair of services aces to the attack for Ventura (7-3), winners of six of their past seven outings.
VC next hosts Antelope Valley on Friday Sept. 28. The match is slated for a 6:00 pm start at the VC Athletic Event Center.
