Dana Head Volleyball Coach Rayna Cain picked up her first collegiate victory on Tuesday night with a seasoning opening 30-12, 32-30, 33-31 win at Grace College.  “It was a good start to the season,” said Coach Cain after the win.  “We blocked and passed the ball well and overcame a few mental breakdowns throughout the match.  It was a good test to prepare us for the rest of the season.”

 Offensively, Dana was led by senior Darcy Gross who had 11 kills and 4 ace serves.  Junior Holly Lehmer also added 32 set assists to lead the Vikings.

Defensively, senior Shanan Arnold played well leading the Vikings with 27 digs.  Dana was led in blocks by freshman Kali Brayfield who totaled 11 and sophomore Samantha Triplett who had 8.
