The Arcadia Apaches Girls Volleyball team began their quest for a CIF Championship on Tuesday against the Monrovia Wildcats. After a 21-6 regular season and 12-2 league record, the Apaches took care of business Tuesday against the visiting Monrovia girls, but it was never easy.
In the first set, Monrovia jumped out to a 9-3 lead. The Apaches clawed back into the match and tied up the first set at 14. The favored Apaches weren’t able to finish the first set, however, and the Wildcats took a 1-0 lead after taking the first set 25-23.
Despite dropping the first set, the Apaches cruised to victory in sets two through four. In the second set, the Apaches dominated, winning 25-12, and they followed that up in the third set with another strong performance, winning 25-17. With a chance to win the match and advance in the playoffs, it was more difficult, but the result was the same. The Apaches won 27-25 and defeated Monrovia.
Hannah Kennedy led the Apaches with 19 kills. Senior Hannah Ruiz added six kills and eight aces.
