SCCS Girls Volleyball Advanced to CIF Regionals
SCCS Girls Volleyball Sweeps Verdugo Hills, Falls to Palisades
By Tyler Wainfeld Signal Sports Writer
The Santa Clarita Christian School student section began Thursday, Nov. 10 with some rousing cheers for the Cardinals girls’ volleyball team.
At the end of the night, the two groups joined together to celebrate, bringing the loudest cheers of the night to the small gym at SCCS.
The No. 2 Cardinals (26-3) swept the visiting No. 10 Verdugo Hills Dons (35-7) at home, 25-17, 25-17, 25-14, to advance to the regional semifinals in the CIF Division 4 state tournament.
“I feel like when people walk in here and they see the tiny gym, they sort of get a little offset and they’re like, ‘Oh, great,’” SCCS senior Hannah Shaffer said. “But we come in here, we’re like, ‘Oh, this is our home.’ And we love the loudness. We feed off of it, for sure. It definitely helps us so much. I love our fans so much. They’re the best.”
Shaffer had a team-high 10 kills, making just one error on her 30 attempted hits. SCCS senior Kaysa Brown pitched in with eight kills, giving those two a combined 18 of the 20 kills for the Cardinals.
“When she’s [Shaffer] got an open lane, hats off to the teams that are playing good defense against her and digging those things up,” SCCS head coach Darcy Brown said. “Between her and Kaysa with our weapons, they’re a dominant duo, for sure.”
Kaysa Brown added a team-high 10 assists, while junior Evie Frields helped out with nine assists. Brown also had 10 digs to give her a triple-double for the second straight match in the CIF playoffs.
SCCS senior Clara Ayer had a teamhigh 12 digs and four aces, including three in the first set. Fellow senior Bethany Wilson had a team-high five blocks.
The final score may indicate a sweep, but the Cardinals had anything but an easy road to victory. The Dons came out swinging, leading early in each of the three sets. But each time, the Cardinals found a way to bring it
