ROUNDUP : Schroeder, Penfield Lift Thousand Oaks in Volleyball

After his team dropped the first game of a girls’ Marmonte League volleyball match Thursday to an aggressive Royal High squad, Thousand Oaks Coach Ron Beick decided to change things up.

Beick inserted outside hitter Karen Schroeder and middle blocker Janie Penfield into the lineup, and from that point the match belonged to the Lancers who won, 7-15, 15-6, 15-3, 15-4.

“They did an excellent job helping change that momentum,” Beick said of the duo.

Schroeder had five kills and six digs and Penfield contributed seven blocks and three kills. Penfield also helped control Royal’s middle blocking duo of Kristin Fick and Jenny Preglown, who had hurt the Lancers repeatedly in game one.

Tricia Tuley led Thousand Oaks with 11 kills and 12 digs. Carrie Penfield had eight blocks and Gretchen Gulbranson had 35 assists for the Lancers (8-4, 6-1 in league play).
