The main server for the Commodores was Melany Salazar and she finished the game with 12 aces! Kya Colston had a big game this game with 10 kills and three spikes for a total of 12 points! After the game, most of the girls started cleaning up to leave so unfortunately, none were available for an interview. On a positive note, there was a crowd with various students, one of which was able to stop for an interview about her experience. Freshman student, Gabriela Sosa, said that the game was very exciting and that watching her classmates play at this level makes her proud to attend Gulf Coast. Another student, Felicia Neal, stopped to say that watching volleyball is very fun for her and her friends because they all support the uprise women’s sports. These two students both agreed that they would attend more Gulf Coast volleyball games and other games that Gulf Coast hosts in the Wellness Center or in the fields. Continuing on about the Lady Commodores, the team as a whole was seen communicating very well, such as encouraging teammates after a good serve, uplifting each other after missing a point, and cheering each other on from the benches. This game was one of three for this early October weekend and the girls seemed pumped up for it. After checking on the statistics from the weekend games the Lady Commodores won all three in the same fashion; 3-0. This team looks very promising for the rest of their season and other future seasons.
