The Trailblazers were unable to add to Wigfall’s total though, falling to the Sea Hawks, 25-19, 25-21, 21-25, 25-18.
It was Sierra Canyon’s first loss of the season and its fourth in six matches against Redondo.
“It’s always a battle,” Redondo coach Tommy Chaffins said. “Stefanie is one the best coaches. That’s why they’re so good. When there’s a person that’s been doing it a long time with success like her, that’s why it’s a battle.”
Junior Abby Zimmerman anchored the winning effort for the Sea Hawks (10-3). She didn’t just lead them in kills, she also showcased she could score with finesse equally as often as she could with power.
“Sometimes the off-speed shot is the right shot,” Chaffins said. “Especially against taller athletic players. Abby sets it up with the fastball and you have to change things up because great players will time the fastball.”
