Vaqs Claim WSC North Title; Sweep Allan Hancock

SANTA MARIA, Calif. – No. 7 Santa Barbara City College sealed its WSC North championship on Wednesday with a 3-0 (25-18, 25-23, 25-18) win over Allan Hancock to wrap up the regular season.

Bayley Padia, Chaya Clemons and Kaylin Cooney each provided 8 kills while Stephanie Groswirt dished out 11 assists and 4 service aces.

"It was another balanced win with the entire team seeing game action," said head coach Kat Niksto. "I love that we can play a different lineup in each set and still achieve high-level results."

The win improved their record to 20-3 on the year and 10-2 in conference play.

"This win was extra special because it secured a share of the WSC Championship with a 10-2 conference record, and with the tie break, we finished first," said Niksto.

The Vaqueros travel to Santa Monica on Friday to take on No. 6 Santa Monica – the WSC South champion – in the WSC Conference Crossover.
