Sonoma Valley volleyball girls beat Analy in dramatic comeback
Showing off their new uniforms, and playing with verve and teamwork, the Sonoma High School girls volleyball team fought their way to a comeback victory over former league rival Analy, beating the Tigers 3 sets to 2.
The Lady Dragons actually lost the first two games – first team to win three takes the match – but turned it around with an offense that 'got better and better each game,' in Coach Rand Rognlien's words.
The scores tell the story: 17-25, 21-25, 25-16, 25-17, and the final 15-10.
Kill leaders were Giana Bruton (with 11), Gaby Knudsen (7), Ruby Capriola (7) and Alondra Martinez (6). Marissa White led the serving with 7 aces.
'The home crowd was tremendous and the girls fought all the way back for a great victory over a strong Analy team,' said Rognlien. 'This team has heart and it showed tonight.
'It was an all around great team effort.'
The Sonoma Valley varsity volleyball team now has a 3-1 record in non-conference play. They have their first home conference match today, Tuesday, Sept. 4, against Justin-Siena, beginning at 6 p.m. at Pfeiffer Gym.
