The Brahmas women’s volleyball team maintains their perfect record so far beating the Cuesta College Cougars in an away game on Friday.
Brahmas came out a little flat but pulled through the first set according to head coach Nabil Mardini.
“We started out slow in the first game,” he said. “But we made some adjustments on our end and then won the game very easily.”
The team had to cut down on their errors since the long ride to Cuesta, north of Santa Barbara, affected the performance according to team setter Janelle Futch.
“We might have been a little tired,” said Futch. “The van is always a time for us to bond though.”
Danetta Boykin led the team with 13 kills, sophomore Veronika Brahmas’ cause.
Sophomore Jasmine Levi rolled her ankle during the game and picked up an injury but will hopefully be back for next week’s match according to Mardini.
“Even without our big in the middle,” said Mardini. “We will manage.”
The Brahmas also defeated Oxnard College Condors in three straight sets on Wednesday.
The most valuable player of the game was awarded to 2nd year player Veronika Ban who led the team with seven kills, played aggressively and spiked.
Head coach Nabil Mardini said the team has to keep playing its type of game.
“The Oxnard team played a different style than us. We need to keep developing our style and control the rhythm of the game,” Mardini said.
Both wins bring Pierce’s season record to an impressive 15-0.
The Brahmas’ will play their first conference match tonight at 7 p.m. against Bakersfield at home.
