While Grace Christian Academy 1 continued to bulldoze the opposition by posting its sixth straight win, Saipan International School 2 finally winning in the NMIVA-PSS Interscholastic Girls High School Volleyball League 2021-2022 season was the feel-good story of last Thursday\u2019s matches at the Marianas High School Gymnasium.<\/p>\n

The Lady Geckos 2 have lost five straight entering their game against Saipan Southern High School 2, but in a battle of winless teams, one team was bound to emerge the victor.<\/p>\n

SIS 2 was fortunate to be that team as they finally hit pay dirt while leaving the Lady Manta Rays 2 winless with its sixth straight loss. The Lady Geckos 2 took the first set, 25-17, before encountering more resistance in the second but eventually pulled off a 25-19 win to finally enter the win column at 1-5. <\/p>\n

The Lady Geckos 2 roster includes Sophia Brasuell, SeoHee Lee, Lian Qi-Lucy Li, Lisha\tLai, Olivia Hwang, Jin Hee-Cathy Woo, Stephanie Kim, Charlene Son, Soledad Sablan, Elizabeth Tom, and Yebin Shin.<\/p>\n

SIS 2 coach Scotty Moen applauded his team following the breakthrough win against SSHS 2.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a great win for the team. They played their best game of the year and it paid off with a win. We have made many improvements in our defense, especially on playing the net tougher. Our servers have gotten better and helped us stay in the game,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n

GCA 1, meanwhile, continued its march to perfection after a 25-6, 25-8 manhandling of Mt. Carmel School 3. <\/p>\n

The Lady Knights 3\u2019s sister team didn\u2019t fare any better in their game against Marianas High School 3 after the Lady Dolphins 3 beat MCS 2, 25-11, 25-23. The win raised MHS 3\u2019s record to 2-5.<\/p>\n

MHS 1 made it 0-3 for Mt. Carmel School that game day as the Lady Dolphins 1 kept pace with GCA 1 with a 25-21, 25-20 victory. SIS 1 also won again, beating GCA 2 in a tough three-setter, 25-8, 12-25, 15-6. MHS 2 then made 3-for-3 for all three Lady Dolphins teams Thursday following a hard-fought 25-12, 20-25, 15-12 win over SSHS 1.<\/p>\n

The NMIVA-PSS Interscholastic Girls High School Volleyball League 2021-2022 continued last Saturday, but results of the six-game schedule were not available as of press time. The league resumes tomorrow with SSHS 1 vs MHS 1 and MCS 2 vs SIS 1 in the 4:30pm first games. The 5:30pm second matches will then have SIS 2 going up against GCA 1 and MHS 2 facing MCS 3. The final 6:15pm schedule will then pit GCA 2 against MHS 2 and SIS 1 taking on sister team SIS 2.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
