The Fresno City College volleyball team prevailed in a home match against College of the Sequoias last Wednesday night.
The Rams defeated COS in three sets. They won the first two sets with a score of 25-18, and the third set with a score of 25-20.
The game stood apart in many ways for FCC. It was the Rams’ 52nd straight victory in the Central Valley Conference, as well as the 100th career win for Head Coach Tracy Ainger-Schulte in her tenure at FCC.
“Hopefully this will be the start of another 100 wins for coach,” said sophomore Ashley Ferguson who had nine kills and ten digs.
Sophomore Alex Paredes continued her strong start to the season against COS as she recorded 13 kills and eight digs.
Paredes was an All-American selection this pre-season as well as the CVC Player of the Year at the conclusion of last season.
Along with freshman Kamaya Dixon (Washington Union), Paredes has put forth a performance that has fans wondering how far the Rams will go this season.
Freshman Middle Blocker Lizzie Barrow says, “I think we played well [against COS] every time we stepped on the court we played as a team, not as individuals,” Barrow said.
With the win, the Rams improve their overall record to 8-4 and their CVC record to 2-0.
Twelve games into the season, they are on track to accomplish their goals by the end of this season. “We want to be state champions,” said Barrow.
The Rams will be traveling to Columbia College this Friday.
