Men’s Volleyball:
Long Beach gets back on track with sweep of San Diego City
The Long Beach City College men’s volleyball team bounced back from its five-game loss at Orange Coast College on Friday with a 3-0 non-conference win over visiting San Diego City College at LBCC on Wednesday night.
The Vikings swept the match over San Diego City (0-6) by scores of 30-20, 30-15, and 30-16 to improve to 6-1. All six of LBCC’s wins have been three-game sweeps.
“We needed a win like this after that tough loss last week,” said LBCC head coach Randy Totorp. “I think the loss woke them up because the guys played with a lot of intensity tonight.”
Sophomore right side Chuck Chamberlain had a good all-around match totaling seven kills, five aces, and three blocks.
Freshman outside hitter Torand Cheltenham chipped in with seven kills and six blocks and freshman middle blocker Fidelix Ojo added seven blocks and five kills.
Long Beach returns to action with an exhibition match at Hope International University on Saturday (Feb 28) at 7 p.m. |
