The Gators devoured yet another team tonight winning 3-0 against Dominican University in what marked the second day of the California Clash tournament at SF State.
The women's volleyball squad started the game in complete focus chomping their rivals at every chance they could get.
Fans arrived and everyone was hoping for another great game from the Gators. SF State cheerleaders sat in the stand bringing school spirit to the tournament.
"We just want more people coming to these games, the team is good," said sophomore cheerleader Jessica Disanto, 19.
Set one lit the competition on fire with the Gators winning the first game 25-21.
"We knew what kind of fire power Dominican had and we knew that they were gonna come to play so we responded," said Women's Volleyball Head Coach Michelle Patton.
The Gators mangled Dominican in the third set leading the score at 25-17. Freshman Jennifer Jasper stepped up and showed her star quality with a .538 percent attack.
"JJ responded tonight, she worked harder in the middle and the result was a success, she had a great game," said Patton.
The third set sealed the win for tonight's tournament with a score of 25-21, but the bout was a nail biter all the way to the end. The set stayed at a tie for a while until Dominican constantly served out of bounds. Dominican's errors gave SF State the extra two points it needed for the lead and eventually the hard-fought win.
The tournament ended on a high note, with smiles, cheers and high fives.
"The Gator volleyball girls dominated the court and deserve nothing less than roaring fans," said freshman cheerleader Kelly Nelson, 18.
The Gators extended their winning streak to five in a row. In the final day of tournament competition, SF State will tomorrow face Saint Martin's at 2 p.m. and Chaminade at 7 p.m.

Ms. Lyles, if you intend on being a sports writer, I suggest you think of a different profession.
