The Miramonte Lady Matadors (12-1, 5-0) extended their winning streak to 12 games with straight game wins against Campolindo (7-3, 2-1), Dublin and Acalanes High Schools .
Miramonte matched up against Campolindo on September 29 and despite a team-wide flu bug, they were able to sweep their competition. The Lady Mats almost had to cancel the game, as seven of the players were unavailable until the morning of the game. Unlike their coach Shannon Ross, who was too sick to attend, the team regrouped and was able to defeat a hard hitting Campolindo team 25-20, 25-19, 25-23.
The victory propelled Miramonte to the number two spot in the East Bay, behind Bishop O'Dowd, and dropped Campolindo to the number three spot.
At Dublin, on October 6, Ross used all her players in Miramonte's match-up against the Gaels. The Lady Matadors defeated the Dublin Gaels 25-14, 25-12, 25-18. All 14 players on Miramonte's team saw playing time.
Miramonte continued its winning streak against Acalanes on October 8. Again the Lady Mats recorded the victory in three games: 25-18, 25-14, 25-9. Senior outside hitter Juliana Stivanicevic led the team with 17 kills. Senior setter/middle blocker Mary Diamantidis added eight kills, 18 assists and senior outside hitter Haley Sayres had seven kills. Senior setter Sarah Vaccarro had 20 assists and junior libero Jane Siri and seionr libero Lissa Gilbert had 20 and 18 digs respectively. "Our setters set the tone for this match," said Lady Matadors coach Shannon Ross. "They distributed the ball well, and made smart plays for us all night long."
Miramonte travels to Alhambra tomorrow, October 15th.
