The Chico State women’s volleyball team opened the CCAA conference play on its home court Thursday against the reigning CCAA champions, the Cal Poly Pomona Broncos. The Broncos, who were ranked #1 in the CCAA volleyball preseason poll, defeated the Wildcats in a sweep, with scores of 25-22, 25-17 and 26-16. The Wildcats offense outpaced their opponents, attacking 91 times while the Broncos made 87 of their own. The deciding factor was the accuracy; however, the Wildcats’ .209 hitting percentage wasn’t enough to outshine the Broncos’ .356. Despite the end result of the match, the Wildcats remain hopeful and aim to learn from the loss, looking to bounce back quickly.
