There have been small spurts, a scoring run in some sets, but the Pasadena City College women's volleyball team had yet to really show an efficient attack offense despite a successful start to the 2021 season.

It was the SoCal Region's No. 1 squad's seventh straight victory.
Call it hype of a matchup between top-ranked teams. Call it sheer excitement from facing a long-time school rival. Call it what you want, but the state's #6-ranked Pasadena City College women's volleyball team appeared like battle-tested heroes in rallying from a 2-1 sets deficit to beat host Mt. San Antonio College, 25-16, 18-25, 20-25, 25-13, 15-12, in a South Coast Conference match Friday night.
For nearly two sets, it was hard to tell which team was rated #9 in the opening CCCWVCA State Women's Volleyball Top 25 Rankings and who was unranked. The #9 team, of course, was Pasadena City College, and after a lethargic stretch that resulted in a 27-25 first-set defeat to visiting Citrus and a 17-12 second-set deficit, the Lancers turned to one of their leaders to change the momentum.
The Pasadena City College women's volleyball team used a mighty serving presence that resulted in 15 aces and withstood a late push by its opponent in defeating Ventura, 25-15, 25-23, 18-25, 25-22, in a key Southern California matchup at Hutto-Patterson Gymnasium Wednesday evening.

If the COVID-19 pandemic has done anything for community college coaches, it's savor the return to the daily routine of holding in-person practices to guide their programs into a new season. Pasadena City College women's volleyball head coach Mike Terrill is not only excited as the Lancers return to play for the 2021 season after an entire 2020 season was wiped out by the worldwide health crisis, but pleased with the instant camaraderie demonstrated among of his players.
