2018 GV Christian Girls Volleyball Capsule

League: Class 1A Southern

Head coach: Alex Gutierrez, third season

2017 record: 3-19 (independent)

Returning letter winners (starters): Five (three)

Top athletes: OH/DS Ariana Davis (Sr.), MB Chloe Lamb (Sr.), S Sofia Gill (So.), OH/DS Abby Johnson (Jr.)

Outlook: The Guardians return three starters from last year’s squad as they move into the Class 1A Southern League.

Gil (79 assists, 40 aces) and Johnson (29 kills, 19 aces, 37 digs) should be among the leaders on offense, with Davis (24 digs) helping on the defensive side.

“Our team looks to continue to develop with the addition of two incoming freshmen,” Gutierrez said. “Although we lost three starters and one of our top players is currently out due to injury, we are looking forward to our returning players and new additions filling in the gaps.

“Our team is young, so it will be exciting to watch them grow together and play off each other’s strengths.”
