The John Burroughs Bears continued their hot start to the season by sweeping the Thousand Oaks Lancers in three sets (25-22, 25-16, 25-20). Luke Kang had the match-point kill to seal the victory in set three. Both teams entered this contest following 3-0 sweeps, but on opposite ends. Thousand Oaks was swept by Cathedral, 3-0 in the first of the back-to-back and Burroughs came off a sweeping win over Monrovia on Tuesday evening.

Quote of the week

“I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.“
