San Jose City College women’s volleyball team was defeated at its home game 3 – 0 against Gavilan College on Wednesday, Oct. 4.<\/p>\n
“We worked our hardest,” SJCC volleyball player Alyssa Fioritto said, “We could have done better but I’m glad we still came together as a team.”<\/p>\n
The game against Gavilan was the Jaguar’s 12th game of the season and 10th defeat.<\/p>\n
Jason (Dupler, the team’s new head coach) is starting from scratch,” Gavilan College Director of Athletics Ron Hannon said. “It’s going to take time. You need experience; you need a group of players that have played with each other for a long time.”<\/p>\n
Hannon said there are ladies on Gavilan’s volleyball team that have been playing together since they were 14.<\/p>\n
“So just having that continuity of understanding each other and having that experience makes a big difference,” Hannon said.<\/p>\n
SJCC Director of Athletics, Lamal Harris is optimistic about the future of the program despite the loss.<\/p>\n
“We got a new coach, there is a new energy, a new direction, a new focus for the program,” Harris said. “I’m excited about the direction of the program.”<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
