Vikings earn Coast split in Santa Cruz
Sydney Rogers (L) and Devin Derecho picked up wins against Gavilan and Fresno City
An injury-depleted West Valley beach volleyball team salvaged a split Friday at Main Beach in Santa Cruz. The Vikings (2-5, 1-1 Coast) were able to field only four healthy pairs, which were enough to beat Gavilan (0-4, 0-2) 4-0, but not enough in a 3-2 loss to Fresno City (1-5, 1-1). Viking 1's Flor Porras/Kiana Manson and 2's Sydney Rogers/Devin Derecho won both their matches.
