Channel Islands had to travel to play their first game of the season, but the final result was worth the trip. They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 3-2 win over the Ventura Cougars on Thursday. This was payback for the Raiders, who suffered a 2-0 defeat the last time these two teams met.
If you add up the scores from across all five sets (100-90) Channel Islands actually scored fewer points, but in the end it didn't matter. Once all was said and done, the final score wound up at 25-18, 26-24, 17-25, 7-25, 15-8.
Ventura's loss came despite a true team effort with many players turning in solid performances. Perhaps the best among them was Fletcher Duffey, who had 30 digs. That's the most digs Duffey has posted since back in February of 2024. Theodore Souther-Pasquarella was another key player, getting 27 assists and three digs.
Ventura's defeat dropped their record down to 1-1.
Coincidentally, Channel Islands and Ventura will both be playing Carpinteria the next time they take the court. Ventura will head out to face Carpinteria at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday, while Channel Islands will host them at 6:00 p.m. on March 6th.
