By the slimmest of margins, the GCC Women's Volleyball Team found the pathway to success in defeating College of the Desert in three games Friday, Sept 6, 26-24, 28-26 and 25-23 to improve to 1-5 this season. The Lady Vaqs fell to Orange Coast College 25-7, 25-7, 25-18 in an earlier match that day.
"For our first win of the season, it was a tight one with a lot of offense. The team stayed focused and played well together,'' said Head Coach Yvette Ybarra. "It is hard to win after a rough loss (to OCC)but they played as a unit and really did an amazing job communicating and problem-solving.''
Karina Biel led GCC with 16 kills and 10 digs in the COD match and Poet Crum had 10 kills and three solo blocks. Shiho Uchida had 22 assists and Zhimin Yu13 digs, three service aces and three assists.
