The Junior Varsity Dons closed out the second week of the season on Thursday with their fourth straight victory, defeating the visiting Clayton Valley High School Eagles 25-12 and 25-19.
The Dons struggled in the beginning of the first set, initially falling behind 2-5, and trading blows with the Eagles to a 9-9 tie. From then on, they pulled away in Dons fashion, behind the acrobatic passing of Kylie Choi, the generous sets of Mara Korzeniowska, and the withering kills of Sofie Foster and Hanna Hageboeck. A 10-point Ryann Jones serving streak brought the team to 24-11, and the set closed on an Eagles serving error.
The Dons started strong in the second set, initially outscoring the Eagles 15-4. An Eagles rally and Dons miscues tightened the game to 20-18, before the Dons took over, winning the last three points of the set behind the deep corner serves of Elsa Simas.
