Juniors Katelyn Hoidal and Amanda Garcia paced the Bishop Diego attack in a 25-7, 25-11, 25-17 sweep at Valley Christian Academy of Santa Maria in the season opener for coach Dillan Bennett’s Cardinals.
Hoidal put away eight kills and was a force at the service line with six aces. Garcia had five kills and six digs.
“We have a brand-new team out there this year, and our last three weeks have been focused on getting better,” said Bennett. “We were excited to get on the court against somebody besides ourselves tonight, and every player played a role tonight.”
Bishop will host the Cardinal Classic this Saturday.
