COMMUNITY COLLEGE ROUNDUP : Golden West Wins Second State Title in Row

Becca Foltz earned her second consecutive most valuable player award as Golden West won its second consecutive State women’s volleyball title with a victory over Cerritos on Sunday at DeAnza College in Cupertino.

Foltz, a sophomore outside hitter from Foothill High, had 17 kills in the title match as the Rustlers swept, 15-12, 17-15, 15-9.

Vanessa Dahl added 15 kills for Golden West, which has won four of the last five State titles under Coach Albert Gasparian.

Dahl and Christine Heims, along with Foltz, were selected to the all-tournament team for Golden West (25-2).

The Rustlers’ two losses this season came to Cerritos in a tournament in October.

Cerritos (22-2) lost twice to Golden West, both times in the State tournament.

“We put it together as a team for a weekend,” Gasparian said. “You could tell Tuesday against Mt. San Antonio (in a playoff game) that we were starting to click.”

In the College of the Sequoias women’s basketball tournament:

Golden West 75, Fullerton 52--Deana Itow and Julie Murdent each scored 19 points and April Van Sweden added nine to lead Golden West (9-3) to the consolation title. Lupe Janos and Vanessa Trujillo each scored 13 points for Fullerton (6-4).
