Volleyball continues battling top spots in Big 8

Delta's volleyball team remains in the top three of the Big 8 Conference as the season passes its halfway point.

The Mustangs (10-5) remain in third place with a conference record of 6-2 following the team's wins against Diablo Valley College on Oct. 15 and Cosumnes River College on Oct. 20.

As the most decisive points of the season approach, Delta's volleyball team knows it has to continue playing high-level volleyball if it wants to remain as one of the top teams in the Big 8.

The Mustangs' home matches against Sierra College on Oct. 29 and American River College on Nov. 9 are perhaps the team's most important matchups of the season. Although these matches take place one week apart from each other, they could decide what position Delta will finish in the Big 8 Conference. 

"Our conference has always been one of the strongest conferences in California in junior college volleyball. Every year it's a battle sometimes for even fourth and fifth place. Every match that we play can be anybody's game," assistant coach Kristie Plateau said.
