No. 5 Canyons Handles West L.A in 3-0 Road Win

The No. 5 College of the Canyons women's volleyball team came up with a 3-0 (25-13, 25-7, 25-12) conference win over West L.A.

Despite dropping two spots in the most recent statewide coaches poll released on Monday — the result of a loss against Santa Barbara City College a week ago — the Cougars were firing on all cylinders vs. the Wildcats.

Canyons posted a blazing .383 hitting percentage for the match and recorded 17 aces.

The Cougars were led by their middle hitters, Erica Magee, Camari McWright and Alexa Hesseldenz, who combined for 16 kills and a .609 hitting percentage.

COC setters Katie Rutecki and Emma Levanen combined to rack up 35 assists.

Rutecki also led the match with a career-high nine aces.

Canyons freshman outside hitter Emily Bible led the team with eight kills and a .375 hitting percentage. Bible also added four aces of her own.

Canyons (12-2, 2-0) will next travel to Citrus College at 6 p.m. Friday, Oct. 9.
