The new era of women’s volleyball at Fresno City College continued in grand fashion in their first under new coach Kieran Roblee., who was recently named NorCal coach of the year.

Fresno City defeated Feather River College on Nov. 26 to send the team to the CCCAA playoffs.

The final was 25-14, 21-25, 25-20 and 27-25.

The victory ensures that the Rams, who are having their best season since 2008, will continue their quest for a state championship.

“We are excited for the next step in our season and our team has stayed the course with its focus on executing our objectives for the match at hand,” said Roblee.

“We played a very pesky, scrappy Feather River team and we knew that of them, from our prior match with them.  There were some long hard fought rallies that didn’t go our way and our team did not let that affect the overall plan to find ways to finish plays and be aggressive. We had an amazing balanced performance once again from the entire team.”

Leading the team statistically was sophomore Jenna Goldsberry with 19 kills and 12 digs, Makayla Cervantes had six kills, three aces and 15 digs and and Sydney Molander had 12 kills.

The team advances to the CCCAA state playoffs Dec. 3-4 in Woodland Hills at Los Angeles Pierce College, where eight teams will compete for the crown of state champion.
