With an overall of 14-3 the Golden West College men’s volleyball team has been on quite a winning streak. The month of March the Rustlers had a successful month with no losses, however, they began April with a not-so-hot start.

On March 23 the team played against Irvine Valley in which both teams were close in score throughout all five matches. However, the Rustlers fell behind within the first two matches (20-25, 29-31); but then made a comeback with the last three matches (25-15, 25-13, 15-12) making their final score a win of 3-2.

Taking home yet another victory, the Rustlers beat San Diego Mesa with only three matches. The first match ended with a score of 25-18, the second match ended with a score of 25-15, and the third match (the closest match) ended in a score of 26-24. Their final score was a 3-0 match win.

After their March 29 match being cancelled against San Diego Miramar, the Rustlers faced Orange Coast College, in which they came across their first conference loss. Unfortunately, the team lost all three matches (25-12, 25-21, 25-23) with a final score of 3-0.

The Rustlers will be having two more games within the next week. They will be going up against San Diego at Golden West College on Wednesday, April 6 at 6 p.m., and then against Palomar at Palomar on Friday April 8 at 6 p.m.
