Playing against a program that just restarted after a 14-year absence from the sport, the state #18 Pasadena City College women's volleyball team starting unit made sure it would be at its most efficient in the Lancers' South Coast Conference match v. visiting Los Angeles City on Wednesday evening.
PCC hit .619 with no attack errors for 13 kills and added five aces in a resounding 21-point, first set win en route to sweeping the winless Cubs, 25-4, 25-15, 25-14. Pasadena upped its record to 11-4 overall and 4-1 in the SCC.

Fellow starters Ariana Pedroza (five kills and two blocks, .333) and Karsyn Gwinnup (five kills, .364, one ace) got extra playing time in the last two sets.
While the PCC second unit had some off moments, that crew was led by Ashley Marrone with six kills (.600 in 10 attempts), Chayse Hoon (five kills, .400, three digs and two block assists), Shaylee Ungos (set 10 assists, one ace), and Itzel Aguayo (three aces, two blocks, one kill).
