Volleyball tallies two Big 8 victories

FLC head coach Matt Torrez won't say so, but his inaugural-season women's volleyball team is really pretty darned good.  The Falcons won two Big 8 Conference matches last week, rolling Santa Rosa in straight sets on Wednesday night in Santa Rosa (25-20, 25-21, 25-16) and taking down Modesto at FLC on Friday, 3-1 (25-18, 25-16, 16-25, 25-18).  Against Santa Rosa, the Falcons recorded 46 kills – 21 by Kylie Haverson – and 68 digs.  Setter Samatha Hegseth added 36 assists in the win.  In Friday's victory over Modesto, the Falcons pounded 48 kills, with six players recording at least 5 each.  Once again, it was Haverson leading the way with 16 kills and two service aces.  Isabel Mason notched 46 assists from the setter position while libero Alexis Mauck had 33 digs.  The victories improved the Falcons' Big 8 record to 2-1 (good for 4th place currently) and 11-3 overall.  This week they have a bye on Wednesday before taking on perennial contender Sierra on Friday in Rocklin.
