Battle of volleyball streaks in Coast Conference North finale; Cabrillo unbeaten at home since 2007

The battle of streaks will determine the 2022 Coast Conference women's volleyball title on Tuesday, Nov. 15 at 6:30 p.m. in Aptos.

Host Cabrillo College has not lost a Coast volleyball match at home since 2007, winning 14 straight titles. The Seahawks are currently in second place in the Coast North at 7-1. The lone Coast setbacks since 2009 have come at College of San Mateo, in 2021 and 2022. The 2021 Bulldog win ended a 121-match Coast record winning streak.

CSM, currently ranked No. 3 in the state, brought a 13-match winning streak into the week (18-3 overall)– that includes two wins over defending state champion Fresno City College. The last setback came on Sept. 10 against current state No. 1 Feather River College. San Mateo came into the final two league matches with an 8-0 record, having won 21 of 23 sets in Coast play. That included a 3-0 sweep of Cabrillo at College Heights on Oct. 21.

Hartnell is the only Coast North foe CSM has not swept. The Panthers won last Wednesday's opening set at CSM, 25-23, before falling 25-21, 25-20, and 25-23. San Mateo swept County rival Skyline in Friday's sophomore night contest, 25-5, 25-6, 25-7.

The Lady Bulldogs first face fourth place Ohlone (3-5, 8-19) on Friday at 6:30 p.m. in Fremont. Cabrillo brought a 140-2 Coast record since 2009 into Friday's match at third place Hartnell.

STAT LEADERS:
CSM's Naomie Cremoux leads the Coast North in kills (342), kills per set (5.10), and service aces per set (.60). Valerie Bruk is the leader in hitting percentage (.437), with Cremoux fourth (.299). Angelina Estrada has the most assists per set (9.89), nearly 3 APS better than anyone else.
