Quality Depth Hands Tigers First Win of the Season

It was a classic crosstown rivalry for the Riverside City College women's indoor volleyball team last Friday as they faced off against the San Bernardino Valley College Wolverines. After a nail-biting opening set that saw the Tigers haul in a victory by two points, they continued to cruise leading to a straight-set sweep with final scores reading 25-23, 25-25, and 25-14.

In a contest where the Tigers displayed strong depth and stern offensive weaponry, it was sophomore outside hitter Kiara Oregon that paced the squad with 10 kills leading to a .222 kill percentage. Freshman outside hitter Jasmine Urban was equally as impressive on the offensive front by hammering home six kills.

Freshman outside hitter Vashti Elias-Romero strung together a well-rounded contest by contributing in multiple categories. She backed Oregon's team high kills mark with seven kills of her own. Additionally, she found the hardwood for three services aces and recorded six digs.  

Sophomore Taylor Gardner facilitated the offense nicely by dishing out 21 assists. She added a trio of service aces to go along with seven digs on the defensive end.

The Tigers will hit their home court for the first time this season by hosting a Wednesday night double header against Citrus and Mt. San Jacinto on September 5^th. Game times are set for 4 p.m. and 6 p.m., respectfully.
