Despite missing a majority of its team because of basketball, the boys volleyball team opened the season with a three-game sweep of San Lorenzo Valley.
San Benito never trailed during the match, and won by scores of 25-14, 25-18 and 25-17.
“I think we did surprisingly better than I thought we would because we were missing so many people,” head coach Samantha Klauer said. “”I had to pull up some JV players to fill spots. It was great because everyone got experience.”
