The Eagles played the Parlier Panthers at home, Oct. 13. FC was looking for forward to winning their first league match.
In the first set the Eagles came out focused and confident, beating the Panthers 25-6.
The Panthers managed to get a run on the Eagles in the second set, however they were unable to muster the strength to beat the determined Eagles who kept the score at a modest 25-14.
With two victorious sets under their belt, the Eagles decided to switch up the line up and allow players to play foreign positions. Despite the numerous lie up mistakes, the Eagles managed to seal the deal, 25-16.
Senior Ivette Ibarra, admits to feeling immense pressure to becoming the teams’ setter in the third set.
“When coach told me that I was going to be setting I really hoped he was joking,” Ibarra said. “It was really hard to ignore my instincts to get the first ball but it was pretty fun playing a new position and doing something out of the ordinary.”
Head coach Johnathan Penberthy enjoyed watching the team have fun and play well to achieve their fist league victory.
“They played with energy and excitement, it was a lot of fun,’ Penberthy said. “We played hard and had fun even though we knew this wasn’t going to be a hard match. My goal was to win quick in three and that’s what we did.”
The Eagles next home game is Tuesday, Oct. 21 at 5:30 p.m., against the Riverdale Cowgirls.
