Then on the fifth and final set the Falcons ended with a loss of 15-7.

Head Coach Kari Pestolesi said, “[…] first match of the year you get the nerves. It was their first game- they didn’t know what to expect.”

The Falcon’s Volleyball team is a group of 10 freshman and one returning sophomore. It was a first seasonal game for the majority of them.

Returning sophomore and setter, Daisy Segura, said, “Everybody said I looked nervous so I probably was but I didn’t notice. But it was my first game as a setter. I’m usually a libero. So I guess I was pretty nervous.”

With the new position, Segura did not know what to expect, she will be preparing for the next games on Wednesday and Friday by setting up her targets.

The next volleyball game will be on Aug. 30 at Fullerton college where the Falcons will take on two teams. They will take on Fullerton and Citrus in a 3-way.

First, the team will face off against Fullerton at 2 p.m., then Citrus at 4 p.m.
