San Diego’s professional women’s indoor volleyball team beat the league-leading Omaha Supernovas Saturday night in a four-set victory at Viejas Arena at San Diego State University.
The San Diego Mojo had a season-high 17 blocks to end Omaha’s four-match winning streak.
“I think that we can play with any team in this league,” said head coach Tayyiba Haneef-Park during the post-game conference.
Four players registered at least 10 kills in the match and three collected double-doubles as San Diego held Omaha to a season-low .111 hitting percentage.
Opposite hitter Yaasmeen Bedart-Ghani was the game’s leading player, tallying a match-high 20 points, on 13 kills, four blocks and three aces while also collecting nine digs.
Middle blocker Ronika Stone recorded a season-high 19 points, with 11 kills and eight blocks.
Her eight blocks are a season-high for the Mojo and the second-most in franchise history.
It brings her season total to 58 blocks, the fourth-most in the Pro Volleyball Federation and three shy of the Mojo’s single-season record.
Outside hitters Jenaisya Moore and Maya Tabron each had 13 points, and both recorded a double-double
Moore made her impact on 13 kills and 12 digs, while Tabron collected 10 kills and 20 digs.
“I couldn’t do this without my team,” Moore said.
Tabron’s 20 digs puts her name in the Mojo record books, for seventh-most digs in a single match, tying Nootsara Tomkom, who did so in two previous matches.
“I feel like I just try to focus on what I can do to help the team, so it was just another day where I felt I was working hard,” Tabron said.
Regan Pittman was the final double-digit point scorer for the Mojo, as the middle blocker tallied seven kills and four blocks.
Mojo starting setter Sarah Sponcil posted her fourth-straight double-double with 46 assists and 16 digs, while libero Shara Venegas registered 18 digs.
The Mojo will play its next game Wednesday at Nationwide Arena against the Columbus Fury.
