REDLANDS — Unsettled and unsure. Those were the words Redlands girls volleyball coach Corinne Flowers used to describe her team’s performance in a September 17 loss at Citrus Valley.

Saniyah Sobers had two kills, one of which ended a long rally, and Lauren Reiter had her first of five aces to extended the lead 14-7 lead en route to an opening set win for the Terriers (14-8 overall, 4-1 in league) . Ally Chase and Morgan Kinser served a pair of early aces for Beaumont (13-9, 4-1) in the second set, as the Cougars jumped out to an early lead. Trailing 13-11, Beaumont’s block tied the set as Dalani Hernandez and Allegra Copeland along with Crystal Adams and Hernandez recorded consecutive combination blocks at the midway point. A kill by Devi’arre Lucas’ plus a pair of Beaumont violations (reaching over and an attack error) pushed Redlands to a 16-13 lead, and that was as close as Beaumont got down the stretch.

Over the last week or so I’ve really worked with my hitters on our connection because that was something we struggled with going into the Citrus Valley match and in just nine days we’ve made a lot of gains there.” In addition to Reiter’s five aces, Redlands got 14 kills from Sobers and eight kills from Lucas. Kinser had seven kills with two aces for Beaumont.
