Oakland\u2019s volleyball team swept Riverdale on the road at Johnny Parsley Memorial Gym (25-15, 25-15, 25-12) Thursday night to improve to 5-0 and atop the District 8-AAA standings.<\/p>\n

Riverdale is 2-3 in the district after dropping back-to-back home district matches.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m very excited for this team and our future,\u201d Oakland coach Avei Logoleo said. \u201cOur seniors have paved the way for our younger players, and this program has a great future ahead.\u201d<\/p>\n

Oakland dominated with hitting, defense, serve and receive.<\/p>\n

The Patriots scored the first five points of the opening set before Riverdale cut the margin to 8-6, but Oakland\u2019s serving took over. The Patriots scored six straight and forced Riverdale to use a timeout.<\/p>\n

Oakland scored two more before Riverdale broke the run, but the Warriors committed eight hitting errors in the opening set and fell 25-15.<\/p>\n

The second set followed the same pattern. Oakland got three aces combined from Carolina Bauer and Kinley, and Laila Ogleton closed out the set 25-15.<\/p>\n

\u201cOakland has a really good team as they are good in all three areas,\u201d Riverdale coach Brittany Rhinehart said. \u201cI\u2019ve been moving some people around and moved some people up, but that is how it is when you have injuries.\u201d<\/p>\n

Oakland led the final set by as much as 20-8.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur coach keeps us competitive in practice, and we go through certain set, match situations, so we are ready when they happen during the games,\u201d Oakland outside hitter Laila Ogleton said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn middle school, our coach always pushed us in practice,\u201d Oakland freshman outside hitter Kinsley Richard added. \u201cIt took a while to get comfortable even though I played club because of the high level of play and competition.\u201d<\/p>\n
