“I was very pleased with our performance. We were more consistent with our serving,” said La Feria coach Rebea Fraga. “When the ball was on our end, we controlled it and we were able to generate a lot of offense. It’s great to bounce back. Sometimes the kids get a little nervous when we play at home, but they handled it well.”
La Feria never trailed in its three sets. The Lionettes vamped their offense early and didn’t look back by building a cozy 15-6 lead in the first set. Senior Myah Salas checked in a strong evening with 13 digs and nine kills.
“Tonight we communicated well, we talked a lot more and our hustle was there,” said Salas. “We managed to keep the ball in and were aggressive. We were able to get the ball over consistently, we never got down on ourselves and we kept hustling.”
Much like the first set, La Feria dominated the next two sets with smooth defense and an aggressive offense. Along with Salas’ strong performance, Destiny Martinez and Karina Diaz contributed in the win. Martinez finished with a team-high 17 digs while Diaz finished with 13 digs and a team-high 23 assists. Meanwhile, Sierra Salinas wound up with 15 digs, nine kills and one ace.
