…..Mountain View moved to 2-0 on the year and Salpointe evened their record at 2-2. The first set of power rankings will be released on April 8 which gives teams some time to adjust but the programs will need to set their course without the benefit of invitationals. Mountain View and Salpointe host very competitive invitationals where teams can get more chemistry but invitationals are not allowed this year due to COVID concerns.
The Mountain Lions had no difficulty building leads in the match but the Lancers also showed something extra by erasing those leads to force five sets. Mountain View took the first set 25-19 in a very direct manner from early on but the teams battled to s 21-21 tie in the second set only to see Mountain View take what appeared to be a safe 24-22 lead. A couple of kills from Dylan Dreis from Zach Denton flipped the set and the Lancers closed it out with a 26-24 win to tie things up at 1-1…..
