The Tigers fail to keep up with #2 ranked Orange Coast
COSTA MESA (10-5-2012) – Riverside met up with a superior Orange Coast team on Friday evening. Orange Coast (9-0, 3-0 OEC) has won every game in just three sets except one time. Just like the others, the Pirates dominated the Tigers 25-11, 25-18, and 25-14 in three sets. Coach Monica Trainer tried utilizing several line-ups and incorporated almost every Riverside player to slow down the Pirates; however, Orange Coast, only allowing RCC a team total of 28 kills and a dismal .157 hitting percentage, continued to dominate the match. The Tigers (6-4, 1-2 OEC) managed a mere four blocks in the loss. Outside hitter Karlee Riggs had 17 kills for the Pirates.
Riverside will host Fullerton on Wednesday at 6 p.m. at Wheelock Gymnasium.
