The JV girls’ volleyball team defeated Terra Linda in a landslide victory on Wednesday, sweeping their opponent two sets to zero.
Redwood beat Terra Linda 25-7 in the first set and 25-9 in the second set. The momentum stayed on Redwood’s side throughout the entire game, keeping Terra Linda out of striking distance for a comeback.
“It was an overall easy game for us,” said sophomore Amelia Shunk, the team’s starting setter. “We are a physically strong team that works well together, so the team didn’t come as much of a competition for us.”
Redwood’s energy on and off the court kept the team going, improving their play as the match went on. The constant buzz of the crowd kept the team pumped-up, and constant communication between players ensured smooth passes.
Each individual player for Redwood had the opportunity to play, giving every player the chance to improve.
Raya Corren, sophomore defensive specialist, believed that communication and the team’s competitive edge on the court has improved throughout the entire year, keeping their loss category empty and their win total climbing.
Despite the fact that their second-to-last game is against Marin Catholic, Redwood’s toughest opponent, the team appears calm and confident, according to sophomore Marielle McMullen, the team’s middle.
“Our JV team has been undefeated for eight years. We’re not planning on losing anytime soon,” McMullen said.
Next week’s match against Marin Catholic will take place at home on Oct. 21.
