Hi my name is Melissa Fifita Im a sophomore and Im an outside hitter!
We had a really tough and intense game against our rivals CSI. We all played well, and never gave up. Sadly it didn't go our way. We had a lot of loving support from fans, family, and friends! We were so grateful to have such an amazing crowd. We have been working hard everyday in practice ever since never letting the fact that they took a win from us in our home gym. We are working hard and are determined to go to CSI and beat them on their home court.

On friday the 16th we had the “Freshman night” when we played against CNW. We won the set in three games and had fun together because we all knew we would be together next year! On Saturday for our last home game of the season we played CEU for sophomore night. The whole day I teased the sophomores that they are grandmas!!! :D But i was just joking and I will really miss them when they leave to go to other schools. I want to say i will miss you to my sister malissa, my polla, my mulan rouge, my crazy setter, my crazy pepper partner, my rosita, my crippled babysitter. This night was so precious because the coaches and parents had gifts for the girls. We won the set in four games.
