Wednesday was about the LPL X-C Mid-Season All-Duals Meet at a somewhat damp River Park and and Water Polo action around the central coast.

Cross Country

LPL Mid-Season All Duals

Meet Director & Cabrillo Head Coach Peter Anderson was still a bit surprised - "I'm just happy we got to race today." After all the wind & rain, they did race, and his Conqs did particularly well. The girls went 4-2, and the boys put a virtual hammerlock on the league title. They posted a 6-0 record, while their perennial nemesis, Morro Bay, was 4-2.

This meet, as the title indicates, consisted of all dual meets. Each race was scored by comparing every school's finish against every other school heads-up - 21 matches per race.

Boys Varsity

The top three teams were all without some of their key runners and the expected battle for the top spot between Cabrillo & Morro Bay was upended by Santa Maria's 2nd place finish. Cabrillo was missing its 1 (Levi Block), 3, & 4 runners, Morro Bay was missing numbers 1 (James Shippe), 4, & 5, and even the Saints were down #2 Cipriano Carmona. The 3rd place finish by Morro Bay, ranked 2nd in CIF Div IV, means that even if the Pirates win the LPL Finals Meet, they will need another team to also beat Cabrillo to enable them to win the title.

Junior Varsity at Lompoc HS

Templeton 13, Lompoc 5

One of the disadvantages of being a JV coach, is that when you do have a good player they are likely going to be swiped by the varsity. That's what happened to the Brave's Jim Steffey, as #1 singles player, Cera Mitchell, was called up for her first varsity road trip. Since Mitchell was usually good for 2-3 sets, the JV singles suffered as a result. Steffey did get some good news in doubles though, Amargiete Larios, who had been out a week, and Sarah Carillo, who missed last Thursday's match, were both back in the line-up.

Singles [0-9, 5-54]: Karen Martin [1-6, 2-6, 0-6], Diep Chang [0-6, 0-6, 1-6], and Isela Caudillo [0-6, 1-6, 0-6] were not able to keep up with Templeton's Rose Dickey, Nicole Roberts, and Hannah Yates.

Doubles [5-4, 36-34]: The Braves actually won the doubles by a narrow margin. Catalina Perez / Amargiete Larios swept - defeating Lily Honer-Holstin / Michelle Corten 7-5, Rachel Parker / Quinn Risigliano 6-2, and Lauren Van Barkin / Emily Miller 6-0. Sarah Carillo teamed with Janett Ruiz for two sets [1-6, 3-6], and with Naomi Guevara to beat the #3's Van Barkin / Miller 6-0. Jessica Meza / Jennifer Magana split two sets [1-6, 6-3], posting a win over Templeton's #3 duo. Meza then paired with Esme Verdin for a 0-6 loss to the #1's.

McPike then used some big first serves to win some big points, andthe match ended when Capasso shot wide.

At Cabrillo HS

Varsity
Morro Bay 3, Cabrillo 0
[25-23, 25-17, 25-22]

At times this year the Cabrillo volleyball squad has seemed like a finely tuned race car. Thursday night it was more like the family sedan with clogged fuel injectors that ran out of gas on the freeway on-ramp. The effort was there, but everything just seemed to be slightly off. Head Coach Sue Slavens - "They were flat, what else can I say".

Even with the 'mechanical' problems the crew had a chance to win this match, they just had too many breakdowns at key moments. Mishit serves that fluttered into the net, hits long, hit wide, balls that rolled over the net and fell in for the Pirates, but rolled back for the Conqs, it was always something.

There was also the factor of a very efficient Morro Bay team, especially on defence. They spent most of the night doing what Cabrillo usually does - just keep sending the ball back over. Libero Monica Santiago always seemed to be where-ever Cabrillo hit the ball, and also served very successfully.

Game 1: It was a Back-and-forth contest early on with neither team able to establish any rhythm. With the score tied at 8, a Cabrillo return attempt hit a ceiling-hung banner - the Conqs couldn't recover and lost the point and the serve. Morro Bay then went on a run, pushing the score to 16-10, but Cabrillo would crawl back into contention.

Kaylee Long, with a pair of kills and an ace; Summer Galvin's kill and a block; and a Jessica Rucinski kill helped the Conqs to within a single point (20-19). However, a Gabby Wenker kill and 4 sucessive mishits by the locals gave the Pirates a bunch of gamepoint opportunities at 24-19. A sideout for Cabrillo was followed by a Jenna Hilliard ace & a kill to close to 24-23, but then the engine sputtered. On the next point, after a terrific defensive series, a Cabrillo player flipped the ball at the net. It hit the top tape and began to roll over the top, stopped 3 quarters of the way over, spun slightly, and dropped back on the Conqs side of the net.

Game 2: Cabrillo quickly fell behind 9-2, and never really recovered. The did make a couple of runs, closing to within a few points twice (8-10, 9-12), but MB put it in overdrive. Tia Gacad had several kills for the visitors during the surge, but it still took Morro Bay 4 shots at gamepoint before they won.

Game 3: Cabrillo took several small/medium (2-4 points) leads early, with the Pirates able to re-tie the game (8-8, 9-9, 10-10, 11-11) mid-way through. Santiago then served 5 straight, until a Kristina Goodchild tip won back the ball. On the ensuing service return, Morro Bay had a shot that just rolled over the top of the net onto the Conq side for the side-out.

A Tiffany Lee kill, and a block, pulled Cabrillo back within two (16-14), and was followed by a series of mistakes by both sides that resulted in the Conqs serving - up 18-17. That serve was an almost complete whiff that never made it to the net. An ace by Alice Hermann tied it up, and although Cabrillo had some chances, Morro Bay outscored them 6-3 down the stretch.

Morro Bay (3-2 LPL): Monica Santiago -16 digs, Kylie Gacad - 28 assists.

Brianna Farley's cast is scheduled to come off on the 10th, but the Conquistadors haven't had too many problems without the services of one of their tallest players. Thursday afternoon they topped the Pirates in straight sets, despite starting a bunch of new people in game 2. The win improved their record to 4-1 in LPL action.

at St Joseph (Hofschulte Gym)
Santa Ynez [5-0 LPL] 3, St Joseph [5-1 LPL] 0
[25-17, 25-16, 25-11]
Santa Ynez wasted no time in declaring themselves the #1 team in the LPL, and they did it the right way - on the court. They defeated St Joseph in straight sets, and have yet to drop a game in LPL play.

The Pirates used big runs to skip away from the Knights, several of those streaks, including a 9-0 run to end the game two, were the result of senior setter MacKenzie Mexico bigtime serves.

Mexico and fellow setter Delanie Stapp consistently put the ball where it could be pounded by their teammates, thus the Pirates' 42 team kills total was no surprise.

Game 1: The Pirates, up 10-7, relied on strenth of Mexico's serving and kills at key times by Squires and Danielle Carlson, to put together a 9-1 run to put the game out of reach. The Knights did close the distance with a 7-1 run at the end, but it was too late. A hitting error put the game in the Pirates's column - 25-17.

Game 2: The Knights hung around for a while, but with the score knotted at 16, Santa Ynez took nine consecutive points to slam the door. Like game 1, this one ended with a St. Joe hitting error.

Game 3: New game, but more of the same - Pirates 25-11.
The Pirates closed out the match with a convincing 25-11 win in the third.

Santa Ynez: Kills - Aly Squires (match high) 17, Rachel Szyller 7, Emilie Newton 6, and Annika Bastanchury 4.
St Joseph : Analise Riezebos 5 kills, Hayley Baldwin 3 blocks.

Cabrillo 16, Morro Bay 6

The Conquistadors won this one easily - eventually. They breezed through 2 quarters of uninspired polo, then had a particularly lackluster 3rd period, before finally playing close to the potential they showed against San Marcos on Tuesday.

Cabrillo scored the first 3 goals of the game and finished the initial period up 4-1. It could have been much better. The sole Pirate goal came on a 5-meter penalty shot after a completely unnecessary foul, and after Cabrillo blew several scoring chances including a 5-meter of their own.

In the second period, Morro Bay scored their 2nd goal after a double ejection foul was called with the Conqs already down a man. How bad was it ? The call was made by referee Bob "Mr. Cabrillo Water Polo" Boyer - the retired CHS Athletic Director & Water Polo Head Coach. It got worse. Later in the quarter, each team missed 5-meter penalty shots. {For those new to the sport, it's rare to see more than 1-2 5-meter penalties in a game. And all of these were deserved.}

The 3rd period play was egregious. The Pirates, who only dressed 9 players, out-scored the Conqs 3-1, despite clearly tiring. Two of the goals were on 5-meter penalty shots (Morro Bay was 2-3 on the quarter). The real squad showed up in the final stanza, as Cabrillo had two four-goal runs sandwiched around Morro Bay's only goal of the period.

Scoring:
Cabrillo - Tyler Chard 5, Emmett Hill 3, Marcus Thiele 3, Tyler Thompson 2, Shae Kakos, Nick Hines. Morro Bay - Zach Condit 3, Jackson Newel 2, Elliot Kaser.

Junior Varsity
Cabrillo 13, Morro Bay 8

The JV apparently paid attention to the first game, and tried to replicate it. The Pirates struck first, then Cabrillo reeled off 5 straight points (4 in the 1st period). Game Over ? Not quite. The visitors ran off 5 of their own in the second, and led at half 6-5. The Conqs posted 5 of the 6 goals in the third quarter for 10-7 lead. A 4th quarter MB goal cut the margin to 2, but Cabrillo scored the last 3 goals to seal the win.

Scorers:
Cabrillo - Nate Chandler 4, Simon Reep 4, Kyle Lopez 2, Chris Naughton, Kieren Carroll, Matt Bray. Morro Bay - Keary Kennedy 5, Marco Maffioli, Grant Johnson, Jairn Schiff.

at Allan Hancock College
St Joseph 9, Lompoc 7

The Braves ceded the Knights a 4-1 first quarter lead, but rallied a bit in the second to trail 4-3 at halftime. They gave those gains back in the 3rd, when they were outscored 3-0. In the 4th, two quick goals by Daniel Dunaetz & Robert Macias brought the Braves within one.

St Joseph scored a countering goal, but Carl Thacker and Dunaetz both hit shots to tie the game at seven. That was as close as they got, however, as the Knights scored the final 2 goals to win 9-7.

Lompoc had opportunities but couldn't convert, including 7 man-up situations during which they only scored twice.

Cabrillo Came Close, But Lompoc Pulled Out A Win

Varsity
San Marcos (12-10) 19, Cabrillo 11
You don't see scores like this one very often in water polo, but honestly, there was defense in this game. Cabrillo goalkeeper Felix Talkin had seventeen saves and Royals goalie Chris Bebb was solid (5 saves), but both teams were launching shots like NASA in the late 60's.

Cabrillo used goals from 4 different shooters to jump out to a quick 4-1 advantage, but two Travis Johnson scores after ejections and a Ben Battles lob tied it at four. Tyler Chard & Marcus Thiele would put the Conqs back up by two, but the Royals would score twice in the final 23 seconds to end the first period at 6-6.

The top half of quarter #2 was more Cabrillo score and San Marcos answer -repeat, then the Royals scored 4 in a row to finish the half with a 12-9 lead.

The third period continued the visitors control as they outscored the Conqs 4-1 - Cabrillo's only goal coming with 12 ticks left on the clock. The fourth was more of the same, with a 3-1 Royals margin for the 19-11 final.

Scoring:
Cabrillo - Tyler Chard 3, Jake Motyer 3, Tyler Thompson 2, Emmet Hill, Marcus Thiele.
San Marcos [as recorded at event] - Tyler Lisea 6, Travis Johnson 6, Travis Froelich 2, Ben Battles 2, Andre Rivera , James Sweeney.

Note: San Marcos [per SM - not total] - Tyler Lisea 6, Travis Johnson 5, Travis Froelich 3, Ben Battles 2, Andre Rivera 2, James Sweeney, Jorge Flores.

Talkin and Motyer, who had about 6 shots hit the cage, drew special comendations from Head Coach Joel Jory.

Junior Varsity
Cabrillo 7, San Marcos 4 [6 minute quarters]

It wasn't the refs !! This was a basically even game, except for a half minute late in the 2nd period. Each squad would score at least one goal in every period.

Cabrillo's Simon Reep opened the scoring in the first, but the Royals answered 3 minutes later. Second verse same as the first, Nate Chandler hits one, but SM responded 2 minutes later to knot the score at 2 apiece. Then, with 45 seconds left in the half, Reep hit his 2nd goal which was followed 25 seconds later by Alfredo Navarro's first, and the locals had a 4-2 lead at halftime.

The teams would exchange goals in the 3rd, but Reep would drop in his 3rd goal of the game with 0:42 on the clock to put the Conqs up 6-3. The Royals would score first to narrow the lead to 2 (6-4), but Chandler popped in another one to make the final 7-4.

Scoring: Cabrillo - Simon Reep 3, Nate Chandler 3, Alfredo Navarro. SM- Jack Sloan, Parker Woodward, Keyvan Golizadeh, Jason Phreaner.

Lompoc 10, Pioneer Valley 8

The Panthers came to town looking for a non-league win, but went home disappointed. Lompoc demonstrated slightly better depth with wins by both the singles & doubles #2's over their counterparts, and had a huge win at #3 doubles to take the match 10-8, despite being behind (71-73) on games.

The visitors #1 's did not drop a set, their #3 's did not win any - so the match was decided by the the #2's. Lompoc's were better - winning 2 of 3 in each discipline. Lompoc won round #1 4-2, and held on with 3-3 scores in the next two.

Singles (5-4, 32-32) - The Panthers #1, Caitlyn 'The Real Deal' Brown [6-0,6-0,6-0], rolled through the Braves line-up of Nicole Nomany, Sameeha Husayn, & Emily Tremblay without losing a game. Husayn won her other two sets, over Marina Villafuerte & Alyssa Santana, by 6-1 scores, and Tremblay defeated them 6-1, 6-4 respectively.

It was the first time this season that Tremblay had won two sets in the same match. Nomany gave way in rounds 2 & 3 to Cera Mitchell, up from the JV squad, who went 1-1. She topped Santana 6-1 and fell 6-4 to Villafuerte.

Doubles (5-4, 39-41) - Preet Gill / Gabby Gonzales [6-1, 6-1, 6-4] also swept for the Pathers, with the Katie Bowman / Ally Morales combo collecting the other PV point [6-2]. Korina Esqueda / Ashley Branson [1-6, 2-6] were shut out, but Korina teamed with Elena Bastianelli to beat the Panthers #3 duo, Anette Santana / Ryan Martin, by a 6-3 score in the third round. Jessica Cosio / Azucena Villalobos [1-6, 6-4, 6-0] won two of three, as did Rosa Carreno / Julie Abrego [4-6, 7-6 (8-6), 6-4].

The highlight was the come-from-behind, tiebreak win by Carreno / Abrego over Bowman /Morales late in the day. The Braves were behind in both the set and the tiebreaker and rallied to win the 8th point of the match. Husayn collected #9, and the Esqueda / Bastianelli win put Lompoc over the top.

St Joseph 3, Cabrillo 1
[25-12, 18-25, 25-27, 24-26]

The Conquistadors were not intimidated and they quickly got St Joseph's attention. They came out in game 1, raced out to an 18-8 lead and blew the Knights off the court 25-12. It was like kicking over a nest of angry wasps though, as a clearly now fully engaged St Joes team, won game 2 25-18. Cabrillo did not simply fade away, down 17-23 in game 3 they rallied to tie at 25 all before a Natsha Kolbo kill and Mary Clare Rigali serve put the game away.

The Conqs led for most of game 4, but were caught at the finish. Up 19-15, the visitors crept back into competition. Consecutive kills by Hayley Baldwin & Analise Riezebos, were followed by a serve by the libero, Shannan Swaim, that hit the net, spun over the top, and dropped in for a point. A net violation tied it at 19. Jenna Hilliard then had two kills to put Cabrillo up 21-19, but kills by Kolbo & Rigali knotted the score at 22 shortly after.

A Kaylee Long tip and a Knight net violation gave Cabrillo a game point, but a Kolbo tip-in, and a Riezebos monster shot brought the score back to even at 24. A carry call on Cabrillo, and a return into the net ended the game.


Cabrillo: Jenna Hilliard - 9 kills, 5 blocks/assists, Chloe Huggins - 5 kills, Tiffany Lee - 5 kills, Kaylee Long - 4 kills. Junior Varsity

Presaging the varsity match a bit, the Conqs came out gangbusters & the Knights came out flat. They would not recover in this one. CHS defeated the Knights in 2 games, advancing their record to 4-0 in league and 5-1 overall.

From Coach Jenn Smith - "Nothing short of great teamwork and unity on the court! Kalya Lown and Felicia Bowen each had 3 kills. Katie Schmarje had 4 ace serves. Great defense and setting by Nikki Friend. "

Homecoming at Huyck

After a moment of silence for long-time "chain-gang" crew member Alan Probst who recently passed away, the Cabrillo Conquistadors celebrated their first victory of the season by defeating the Santa Maria Saints 29-21 at Huyck Stadium Friday night.

It was a very strange game in some ways. Santa Maria opened the game in, and frequently used a variation of the old Notre Dame box formation. They also used the 'wildcat', but gained must of their yardage via the pass. Cabrillo, on the other hand, never threw a pass.

The Saints opened the game looking like an offensive juggernaut, but had trouble moving the ball all night. Cabrillo scored on 3 of 5 first half possessions - the other two being a missed FG and taking a knee to run out the clock, but could not put offensive points on the board in half number two.

The Saints first play of the game was a 45 yard blur of a run down the east sideline by Terrell Dillon, but they only picked up 95 total yards rushing all night. Santa Maria also turned the ball over three times in the 1st half (2 fumbles & a pick), and, after halftime, turned it over on a safety and twice on downs.

In short, it was big plays on offense from the visitors, and steady offense for the Conquistadors after big plays by their defense.

Santa Maria took the opening kickoff and drove 77 yards in 5 plays for the opening score - on a play that was the initial pass of the game. It was a 31 yard Chris Valdez launch that went through the hands of a CHS defender and tipped right into the hands of Steven Reyes. The Guillermo Rodriguez kick put the Saints up by seven.

Cabrillo responded with a 13 play, 65 yard TD drive that featured Jordan Watson. He had 6 runs for 40 yards, including the 4 yard capper. The extra point attempt failed, so the Conqs were still down one. That didn't last long. The Saints ensuing possession was a 3-and-out, and Pat Cook returned the resulting punt 34 yards, setting up a 9 yard Kyle Avilanoza blast up the middle for another TD. Fernando Osua's kick made it 13-7.

Santa Maria picked up a first down, but their second pass attempt of the evening was intercepted and returned 28 yards by Jordan Watson, putting the Conqs in business at the 16-yardline of the visitors. QB T.J. Babuata finished off the drive with back-to-back runs of 9 and 1 yards, but also finished off his participation in the contest. He took a blow to the knee, which caused some "looseness" in the knee, and the staff pulled him from the game as a precaution. Avilanoza moved to QB, and Sisto Solis took his spot in the backfield.

Following a Santa Maria punt and a missed 32 yard field goal, the Cabrillo defense would put the offense back in business deep in Saints territory. A holding penalty and a SAC/ Forced Fumble set up the Conqs at the SM 7 yardline. Cabrillo would not waste time, Solis carried for 4, and Watson went the rest of the way to extend the lead to 27-7.

Santa Maria gave the Conqs a scare - a 36 yard completion into Cabrillo's side of the field, but then fumbled again. Avilanoza took a knee and led the team into the locker room up 20 at halftime.

During the break, previously announced Homecoming King Paul Rhen, was joined by Homecoming Queen Katie O'Malley. She was crowned by the '08 Queen 'Pinky' Dobbins.

The second half began with the only successful onside kick of the 3 attempted by the Saints in the half. And, like the game opener, Santa Maria used the pass to strike deep. A 33 yard bomb on 3rd & 10, set them up on the Conq 8, and they scored 4 plays later on a 6 yard pass to Jonathan Galvan.

Cabrillo would punt on its next 4 (14 plays for 20 yards), and the Saints punted on their next two. While attempting to punt a third time, they had the kick blocked through the endzone for a safety by Brandon Nicastro. Cabrillo put themselves in difficulty by drawing 2 holding penalties and allowing a SAC their next time on the field, so the Saints got the ball at their own 39 with 9:35 left, trailing 29-13.

It was the aerial attack they turned to, although Cabrillo helped out with 20 yards in penalties, including a pass interference flag. The Saints picked up 15 on a Brian Delgadillo reception, 7 more on a Valdez scramble, and a 21 yard TD catch by Daniel De la Cruz. A throw by Valdez to De la Cruz then netted 2 more points, and the Saints were only 8 back at 29-21.

Taking the ball with 8:39 remaining, Cabrillo turned the ball over on downs. The Saints gave it back the same way, but not before a wide open reciever dropped a pass at the Conq 12 yardline. Cabrillo fumbled the ball away, but Santa Maria again returned it on downs. Finally, with just under a minute left, Cabrillo had Avilanoza run out the clock by going to a knee on 3 straight plays.

In the first game we were down 0-13. After a long hard fought battle - not to mention Stacy Harmon's 12 consecutive serves (4 of them being aces) - CHS prevailed! The second game we took an early lead only to let SM get back into the game and even the score at 21-21. CHS played smart ball to finish them off. This win was a true team effort - everyone contributed to earn the "W".

Cabrillo 15, Lompoc 10

Kevin Hicks had his kids ready to go, and it was one of the better match-ups in recent pool contests between the two local schools, but Cabriilo still came out on top. How close was it ? Except for 35 seconds in the 3rd quarter, neither team led by more than two goals until late in the 4th period.

Cabrillo took an early 2 point lead on goals by Jake Motyer & Marcus Thiele, but the Braves retaliated with 2 of their own by Taylor Emery. Those goals, however, were sandwiched around the conqs 3rd score - a goal by Emmett Hill.

Motyer opened the 2nd quarter scoring on a really nice touch shot of a cross-pool pass, pushing the Conqs advantage to 4-2. But Lompoc evened the score with consecutive goals by Daniel Dunaetz - the second on the rebound of a missed 5-meter penalty shot. Goals from Tyler Chard & Motyer gave Cabrillo back its 2 point margin, but a goal from Robert Macias and Emery's third score tied the match at 6 all at the half.

It was a very busy 3rd period, with a frenetic last minute. Shae Kakos (CHS) and Emery each scored goals to keep things tied at 7 apiece, then Chard popped in his second, and Tyler Thompson scored his 1st to put the Conqs up 9-7. When Hill scored again with 56 seconds left it looked like Cabrillo might finish the period up three, but Dunaetz hit his 3rd goal with 40 ticks left on the clock to pull the differential back to two. But we're not done. Tyler Chard (0:30) gave Cabrillo its second 3-goal advantage, but it lasted only 19 seconds as Robert Macias scored again with only 11 seconds remaining in the quarter.

Emmett Hill scored his 3rd & 4th goals of the game to start the 4th period. The second came with 3:05 left, after Cabrillo Head Coach Joel Jory picked up a yellow card for disputing a call in what was a quite physical first 5 minutes. That goal put the Conqs up 13-9, but was answered just 8 seconds later by Michael Ostrander. That would be the Braves last hurrah, however, as Motyer and Kakos each scored in the final 2:30 to give Cabrillo a 15-10 victory.

Goals:
Cabrillo - Jake Motyer 4, Emmett Hill 4, Tyler Chard 3, Shae Kakos 2, Marcus Thiele, Tyler Thompson. Cabrillo scored 6 goals with a man advantge.
Lompoc - Taylor Emery 4, Daniel Dunaetz 3, Robert Macias 2, Michael Ostrander

Junior Varsity
Cabrillo 9, Lompoc 4

This was a tale of two halves, Jeff Dacos's charges dominated early - while Lompoc controlled the second half. The Conq used goals by Adrian Favela, Kyle Lopez (on a 5M Penalty), Simon Reep, and Jake Wiley to finish the 1st period up 4-0. They added 3 more in the second, as Gavin Kilcoyne, Kieren Carroll, and Wiley all scored without a response from the Braves.

In the second half the Braves seemed to figuere out that they could play with the Conqs and it was a much different game. Marc Saucedo-Julian scored twice, and Miles Holmlund & Tyler Townsend each scored once as Lompoc outscored Cabrillo 4-2. Nate Chandler scored both Conq second half points.

According to Lompoc coach Casey Brooks, it was only "the second game ever" for most of his crew, including exchange students Gabriel Belizano (Brazil) and Xi Ping Li ['Eddie'] (China). The Braves had an earlier 10-6 loss to Paso Robles.

David Barber had a number of nice stops in goal for the Braves.

Cabrillo Games
at Cabrillo Gymnasium
Cabrillo 3, Templeton [5-4, 1-2 LPL] 0 [Story]
[25-21, 26-24, 25-23]

After a match Monday night that they allowed to slip away, a determined group of Conquistador players simply refused to to die on Tuesday. They had plenty of opportunities, quickly falling behind in all three games, before rallying for the wins.

On Monday [See more below], facing a tough Righetti squad on the road, they won the first two games, and according to some observers got a little complacent. They paid for that hubris as the Warriors came back to take three straight games and the match. Against Templeton the Conqs would have none of that - there were bodies flying around the court and into the stands, incredible digs, great serves, massive kills, and often, just when they needed it most - one more play than the Eagles.

Game #1
Cabrillo took the first point, then surrendered a 3-1 lead, fought back to ties at 4, 9, & 11 without retaking lead. When they did briefly edge ahead, Templeton fought back to a 14 all tie, but Cabrillo eked out a two point advantage. Then with the visitors serving at 16-18, the Conqs slowly began to make the plays they needed. Summer Galvin's stuff block put the ball in the hands of Libero Colby Edman, whose ace put Cabrillo up 20-16.

A game group of Eagles pulled it back to 20-20. Kaylee Long pounded down a kill, Kelly O'Connell served an ace, followed soon after by a Tiffany Lee kill and a Jenna Hilliard ace to give the locals game point at 24-21. On the ensuing serve, Cabrillo blocked an attempted tip shot, but it would not matter because Templeton was into the net. Conqs take the opener 25-21.

Game #2
In this one they spotted the Eagles an even bigger lead 8-1, then started to creep back into a game many thought was a prelude to a 5-setter. They cut the margin to 3 (9-12), but Templeton pushed it up to 7 (17-10). Cabrillo closed the gap and was serving down a point (19-20) when a serve that should have been an ace, was called out.

A sneaky tip shot gave the Conqs the ball back, and they evened the score at 21. The second Eagle timeout of the game led to a Devon Kennedy kill that put the visitors up, but Jenna Hilliard slammed down a kill to knot the score and get the ball back. Cabrillo served long, the Eagles served short, and Cabrillo served wide to give Templeton a game point at 24-23. Cabrillo won the rally to tie it, and with Hilliard serving induced Templeton into a double hit call - setting up a game point of their own. They converted it on a Tiffany Lee slam.

Game #3
Cabrillo lost the initial point, but actually led briefly until a 5-5 tie. The Eagles then went up 9-5, before the Conqs forced 9-9 & 10-10 ties. A wide serve by the visitors put Cabrillo up a point and Kelly O'Connell at the line. The two points that followed were classic, bodies everywhere on both sides, hits, blocks, miraculous digs - and Cabrillo won them both to take a 3 point lead. They expanded the lead to 4, but the Eagles contracted it to a single point (17-16).

A Long kill, and a Chloe Huggins tip-in after a Kiley Aldridge serve moved the score to 19-16. The crowd started thinking the match was done, but the Eagles weren't done yet. A sideout, a net serve, a carry call, and an ace led to a Templeton time-out with the score 22-18. Game over ? Not quite. A Humpfries kill put sophmore Alyssa Price behind the service line, and she delivered 6 consecutive serves. Fortunately #6 was long & the Conqs got the seve again with the game at 23-23. A Kalee Long tip-in, and a Eagle return into the net sealed the win and saved the rest of the spectators fingernails.

The total points in the contest was 76-68 in favor of Cabrillo. Assistant Coach Jim Hilliard, filling in for Sue Slavins who is still out sick, credited the win to "Everybody on the the court, and the band" while Assistant Jennifer Smith was almost giddy about the "great mentality and defense". And the "D" was excellent throughout the night - keyed by Jessica Rucinski, Aldridge, Long, Hilliard, and Kristina Goodchild.

Understandably, Eagles coach Jody Kelly was not quite so thrilled. She didn't think her squad played up to its capabilities, and said "We didn't play our game, we let Cabrillo set the tempo. We've got lots of talent on this team - we just need to find the right dynamic."

Conq Stat Leaders: Kills (26) - Chloe Huggins 10, Kaylee Long 5, Tiffany Lee 4 . Assists - Jenna Hilliard 15. Digs - Kaylee Long 13, Kristina Goodchild 11.

Templeton: Kiersten Humphries 8 kills.

Cabrillo JV 2, Templeton JV 0
[25-16, 25-22]

Smith's usual charges also got off to a slow start, and were trailing 4-3 when Caitlyn Harvey-Morgan {CHM} stepped to the service line. The result - 5, count 'em, FIVE aces in a row !! Felicia Bowen & Lauren Pluim took over at the net, and Bowen & Kaitlyn Ogan helping out with the serve. Stephanie Miyamoto then had a nice service run (6) with an ace and a CHM kill. Rhiannon Saxe contributed some quality defensive work, and, although Templeton hung around for a while, that was pretty much it. Appropriately, two Bowen kills and a CHM ace closed out game #1.

Despite the defensive efforts of Libero Kayla Lown, Game #2 saw the Conqs fall behind 2-5, 4-11, 7-14, 11-15, & 14-18. Then came a timeout, a Harvey-Morgan kill and Miyamoto at the line, followed by CHM. Kills by Bowen and Alishsa Mellatti, some of the 'crucial digs' provided by Emily Bean & Stacy Harmon throughout the match, and the setting of Nikki Friend helped tie the game at 20 points apiece. After another tie at 21 all, Bowen stepped up to serve and collected four points in a row, aided by a monster kill by Pluim.

Harvey-Morgan: 8 aces. Bowen: 4 aces, 7 (of the teams 15) kills. Friend: 15 assists.

Templeton Frosh 2, Cabrillo Frosh 0
[25-8, 25-22]

The game started at 4:30, Cabrillo started about 15 minutes later. The spotted the Eagles 6 points and then were quickly down 17-3. Following a timeout they played better, being outscored 8-5 down the stretch. Game two was better, even though they fell behind 3-0, and 3-7 before rallying. They tied the score at 8 & 10, gave up a long serving run to Melissa Rylee, and fell four back. There was some back-and-forth, but the margin stayed about 4-5 points the rest of the way.

The powerhouse Pirates paraded past the Braves on Tuesday, but the local ladies were not without some signs of life.

Singles - Cera Mitchell (0-6, 2-6, 6-1) played well at #1, according to coach Jim Steffey, but had difficulty translating that onto the scoreboard. Her compatriots, Diep Chang (1-6, 0-6, 1-6) and Janett Ruiz (0-6, 0-6, 4-6), also had problems, but were able to put some games in the Lompoc column.

Doubles - The girls had their moments, but weren't able to string them together consistantly. Karin Martin / Amargiete Larios (2-6, 1-6, 3-6), and Catalina Perez / Sarah Carrillo (1-6, 0-6, 4-6) had flashes of competitiveness, but it fell to Maribel Martinez / Jennifer Magana (2-6, 7-5, 1-6) to snatch a point away from the Pirates.
