OCC rumbles by Riverside
Sophomore Krystle Davis recorded a season-high 21 kills and
freshman Melissa Zapiain added 20 to lead third-ranked Orange Coast
College to a 30-22, 30-20, 27-30, 30-23 Orange Empire Conference
victory over visiting Riverside in women’s volleyball Wednesday
night.
The Tigers broke Coast’s run in the third game and OCC Coach Chuck
Cutenese put his starters back in for the fourth game and victory was
not far away.
Setter Elisha Counts fed the Tigers a steady dose of Zapiain,
setting her up for 11 kills in that frame. Davis also tallied six
kills in the final game, including her final smash to end the match.
The Pirates controlled play through the first two games with a
number of players contributing. While Davis and Zapiain were
involved, Kelly Overby had five kills in the first game, and Nicole
Buckley and Christine Ryan got their turn in Game 2.
Davis continued her strong all-around play, adding three service
aces and four blocks to her kill total. Counts dished out 43 assists
and Jessica Lingo added nine kills. Casey Petersen had three blocks.
Coast (9-0, 3-0) visits district rival and defending state
champion Golden West Friday night.
