Solano College women’s volleyball team sweeps Yuba

The Solano College women’s volleyball team beat visiting Yuba 25-19, 25-13, 25-12 on Monday as the Falcons improved to 9-0 in the Bay Valley Conference.

Yuba fell into a secondplace tie with Marin.

Dani Rydjord led at the net with 11 kills and added three blocks for the Falcons. Sammy Brown distributed 10 kills and added 13 digs and four aces.

Kailyn Kaiser led the defense with 14 digs and she added three aces, serving 13-for-14. Anaya Rodriguez chipped in seven kills, seven digs and 15 assists.

Jeryn Baldonado added 16 assists and served 12-for13 with one ace. Chris Rigney Cruz added six kills and two blocks. Mylie Moli chipped in five kills on zero errors and added three blocks.

“We played solid tonight,” said Solano head coach Darla Williams. “A few too many missed serves but we made up for it on our offense and defense. This win was huge because up until last Friday, Yuba’s only loss was us, but Marin beat them on Friday to put then tied for second.”
