Palomar women’s volleyball team dominated in the home opener and first game of the season against San Bernardino Valley College (SBVC) in The Dome. After winning their first scrimmage against in four games against St. Katherine College, the Comets swept SBVC in three consecutive sets (25-9, 25-9, 25-17) for the win. Having no knowledge of how SBVC would play until game day, Head Coach Karl Seiler was satisfied with the team’s performance. “I was not sure what to expect from the other team, but the girls came out firing,” he said. Libero Jelisa Navarette executed numerous wicked serves that went unanswered by the opposition. This season’s team is relatively
young with just five sophomores and nine freshman. Seiler said the team had immediate camaraderie from the start. “The girls are really coming together. From day one the team really clicked,” he said. Returning sophomore Kristi Mankhey said the team has come together and established several goals they would like to achieve for the season. “We sit down and talk a lot as a team and what we want out of it (season). Like during matches we play small games of five until we get to 25,” Mankhey said. Last season, women’s volleyball went 10-12 overall and 7-5 in conference play, according to the Palomar Athletics website. The next home game is at 5 p.m. Oct. 2 against Grossmont in The Dome.
