Marianas High School teams continue to lord it over their opponents in the 2014-2015 Marianas Interscholastic Sports Organization Girls Volleyball League.<\/p>\n
The Lady Dolphins squeezed out a hard-earned 25-21, 25-20, 15-12 decision over its counterpart at Saipan International School, while MHS\u2019 junior varsity side had an easy 25-11, 25-13, 15-11 win against Mt. Carmel School JV last Thursday at the Marianas High School Gymnasium.<\/p>\n
The Lady Dolphins, with MHS coach Jacoby Winkfield fielding his regular starting unit, managed to thwart every comeback bid by the SIS Lady Geckos to turn things to their favor.<\/p>\n
Shanna Flores, Knohlynn Gechig, Emily Jones, Beryl Kohnen, Sabrina Pangelinan, and Zarinae Sapong played solid defense and offense to power MHS V to its fourth straight win and remain on top of the 11-team field.<\/p>\n
The Geckos fell short to MHS V, as fatigue may have catch up with SIS, which played back-to-back games that day. The Geckos dropped their second straight match after they also absorbed a 25-23, 27-25, 15-7 setback against the Grace Christian Academy Eagles in an earlier game<\/p>\n
MHS, in an earlier contest, downed Mt. Carmel in an all-JV showdown in the first game with the Lady Dolphins remaining undefeated after three matches.<\/p>\n
In other featured games, Kagman High School outsmarted Saipan Southern High School, 25-21, 25-23, 15-10, and Mt. Carmel bounced back from an opening-set loss to foil GCA\u2019s attempt for a second consecutive victory, 20-25, 25-20, 15-12.<\/p>\n
The match between the junior varsity squads of Kagman and Saipan Southern will be rescheduled due to school van issues.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, action continues tomorrow with SIS taking on Saipan Southern and Mt. Carmel facing off Kagman in an all-JV opening matches at 4:15pm.<\/p>\n
The 5:15pm and 6pm games will be an all-varsity affair with Kagman battling GCA and MHS playing back-to-back matches, as the Lady Dolphins will first meet Saipan Southern before closing out against GCA. Mt. Carmel collides with SIS in the last match. (Jon Perez)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
