On April 4, Delta’s beach volleyball team played two home games against Solano and Marin at the University of the Pacific’s Raney Sand Volleyball Courts.
The game against Solano started at 10 a.m., and Martin started at 1 p.m. The final scores of both games were 5-0 Mustangs.
After winning the games, each volleyball team is on a three-game winning streak while working to finish off the season strong and earn a spot to compete in the postseason.
During one of the matches, a Solano women’s player got injured, resulting in a forfeit.
Interim Head Coach Kristie Plateau said the wins are important to the team’s morale moving forward.
“I think our wins are great for confidence, and you know our program, we focus more on improvement if they’re playing well, there are no bad losses if you’re playing well and improving, but I do think wins do gain confidence for the team,” said Plateau.
She said the team had amazing confidence going into the season and noted that it had some great wins under its belt.
The energy the Mustangs showed as the team got more adjusted in the game proved which team was better on match day.
“It improves with the wins and losses you have to be each other’s supporters, no matter what I think that going through everything together like we had a lot of injuries, and trying our hardest and giving it our all had made us sure a close team because we know we can lean on each other for everything,” said freshman Delta beach volleyball player Catherine Frias.
The team knows that there are a lot of ways to get better and learn from the wins that they earned before their last conference match on April 18.
“Each game is an opportunity to get better because each opportunity plays differently, and playing different teams means you see something new every time,” said Frias.
The Mustangs currently sit at 13-7 in season play, and after that win the Big 8 playoffs, regional playoffs and state.
