Cate girls volleyball kept its season alive with a three-set sweep of Paraclete in the second round of the CIF-SS Div. 6 playoffs on Saturday. The set scores were 25-21, 25-11, 25-16.
With the win, the Rams now have a quarterfinal matchup on the road against Moorpark High on Wednesday.
“Our team showed up big time today,” Cate coach Jordon Dyer said. “We were able to execute the game plan from the service line and also played some complimentary volleyball.
“It’s great to see our team continue to improve game after game, especially in a playoff environment.”
The first set was tightly contested, but Cate dominated the final two sets en route to the overall victory.
Melanie Davidson turned in a double-double with 14 kills and 12 assists while Oyin Opawumi led the way offensively with 20 kills while hitting .633.
Josie Frazier made an impact at the net with five blocks and Evangeline Little led the team with five aces.
“This may have been our best match this year, it’s great to see us peaking at the right time,” Dyer said. “Now we have to prepare for our next match and find ways to keep improving.”
