In the first match of the 2020-2021 season, the Acalanes Junior Varsity Women’s Volleyball team beat Campolindo at home by a razor thin margin over the two-set match. Campo won the first set 19-25 and Acalanes won the second set 25-18. This year, we are playing two sets per match, and the winner is determined by the overall point differential. 

In the first set, both teams were fairly evenly matched in kills and errors until Campo got its bearings and pulled away to win the first set. The Lady Dons were eager to beat their cross-town rival and perhaps nerves got the best of them in the beginning.

In the second set, however, Acalanes settled down and maintained a tight lead most of the first half, then pulled away to bring home the victory. Kills by Sofie Foster and Ava Bunton as well as two aces served by Maddie Bacon were the turning points that helped boost the team’s confidence. Acalanes parents brought tons of energy and cheered on the team to victory.
