For the Islander
The Avalon High girls volleyball team started slow, but has been on an upswing lately. The Lancers dropped their first three matches, but have gone 5-1 since, including 2-0 sweeps over Crossroads Christian and New Covenant Academy in tournament play.
The Lancers are playing in the Liberty Christian Tournament this weekend with matches set for Saturday at 11:30 a.m. against host Liberty Christian and another at 1:30 against New Roads of Santa Monica. The Lancers finished in second place in last year’s Liberty Christian Tournament.
The Lancers are scheduled to host Gahr High on Monday at 2:30 p.m. and will host the Webb Schools on Sept. 7 at 4:30 p.m.
