The Lompoc Girls Volleyball squad did something that locals had not seen in a while - they won all 7 sets at 3 levels against a very game Santa Maria side. It was not a series of blowouts either, the Saints scored 20+ points in 5 of the 7 sets.
Not long ago the Braves were searching for just a few more points, or perhaps, a set victory. The idea of a complete sweep of a creditable team would have been almost unimaginable.
Lompoc Volleyball has a shot this season of their 1st CIF appearance in 22 years!
A short sample of the action Wednesday night. Sorry about the camera work.

1) DP started the 2nd Qtr with the ball in Lompoc territory and used some passing and penalties to set themselves up with at the Braves 7 yardline. On 3rd & 2 from the 2, Jim Gardner picked off a pass in the end zone and took it out to the 5.
Carries by Ruben Cortez & Dallas Canley picked up 5 yards. Then on 3rd & 5, QB Austin Nix hit Shemar Savage on a slant for 31 yards and a first down. Canley took the ball 59 yards for a TD on the next play, and Connor Hayes kicked the PAT. [6:45] 7-0
