The West Valley volleyball team dropped a slugish three-setter to UC Santa Cruz Tuesday night at Kaiser Permanente Arena.

The Vikings opened strong against the NCAA D3 Banana Slugs, dropping set one 25-21. Sets two and three went to UCSC 25-11, 25-14.
Katie Kishton, Belen Morgan and Taylor Tullo had seven kills each for WVC, while Sydney Rogers handed out a match-high 23 assists and Kate Blackwell came up with a match-high 17 digs. Blackwell and Kishton had three service aces apiece.
First serve against De Anza is 6:30pm.
