The first-year Folsom Lake College women's volleyball team made their season debut on Saturday at the Modesto Tournament and turned in two dominant performances as they defeated both Simpson University JV and Columbia College in straight sets. In their opening match against Simpson, the Falcons were led by outside hitter Kylie Haverson's 8 kills and 10 digs as they won 25-11, 25-16, and 25-8. Kate Nicknig and Gwen Hernandez added 7 and 6 kills, respectively. In the afternoon match against Columbia, the Falcons were even more dominant, winning 25-8, 25-5, and 25-9. Hernandez recorded 7 kills, while Emma Flewell was everywhere, tallying 5 kills, 6 digs, and 2 solo blocks. Coach Matt Torrez was pleased with his team's performance but cautioned against getting too giddy. "It was nice to get the wins, but we'll see much tougher competition in the Big 8 Conference. We just need to keep improving."
