Culver City Observer -

The Lady Centaurs didn't lose their cool, last night when they fell behind Wilson's fast start in the first set 20-10. The team made the necessary adjustments to their game as Coach Tanner Siegal began to change up their defensive rotations to take advantage of the size of their talented blockers: Daina Monore, Jayli Nealy, Lauren Tishkoff and Sophia Muller. Culver, then went on an 8-1 run to close within three at 21-18 and were still behind 23-19 when they won the final six points to pull out the come-from-behind win, 25-23.

In the second game, Wilson led 20-17 and was serving when the Centaurs went on an 8-2 run to win the second game, 25-22.
