Lady Tritons Blow 2-0 Lead, Lose To Rogues 3-2, Lady Bombers Defeat Guam Pro 3-1
The University of Guam Lady Triton Volleyball Team dropped a 3–2 match to the Rogues after leading 2–0 on Monday night at the UOG Calvo Field House in the Lady Triton Volleyball League. Guam Pro lost to the Lady Bombers 3–1.
In the nightcap, the league-leading Rogues were without big hitter Faith Piper. The
Lady Tritons took advantage and jumped on the Rogues in the first two sets of the
match, as UOG won 25–22 and 25–23 to take a 2–0 lead. The Rogues responded in the
third set, winning easily 25–14. They also won a tougher fourth set, 25–19, tying
the match at 2–2.
The fifth set to 15 was never a contest, as the Rogues went up 8–0 when the teams
switched sides of the court. It was 13–0 before UOG finally scored. The Rogues won
the set and the match, 15–2.
The Rogues are now 3–0, while the Lady Tritons drop to 0–2.
The Lady Bombers beat Guam Pro even with Guam Pro coach Oksana Chernyshova playing
in the match. The Bombers won the first set 25–19, and Guam Pro came back to win the
second set 25–23.
Chernyshova came off the bench to play for Guam Pro in the third set, but the team
still lost 25–16. She then played the entire fourth set. The former professional volleyball
player was very effective with her powerful spikes and strong serving, helping keep
Guam Pro in the set. However, the Lady Bombers still managed to win a thrilling set,
31–29.
The Lady Bombers improve to 2–1 in the league, while Guam Pro falls to 1–2.
