PUC Pioneers Win Over Menlo

by Jonathan Watts

The Pacific Union College Lady Pioneers made another outstanding home court performance against Menlo College on Sunday, October 7.

The Pioneers rallied to win the first two games 15-8, 15-6. Menlo came back in the third game with strong serving, which challenged PUC's receiving squad. Communication errors led to a third game loss for PUC of 9-15.

PUC took control of the fourth game with strong blocks from freshman middle hitter Emily Ziegler. The Pioneers claimed the last game 15-12 and won the match.

"I think we're finally coming together mentally," said sophomore outside hitter Jessica Ziegler. "We're encouraging and supporting each other in a positive way."

PUC will play Simpson College at their next home game on Tuesday, October 22. The Pioneers currently have a 4-5 overall record.
