SANTA ANA, Calif. - The No. 16 ranked Santa Ana College Volleyball team went 1-1 in its latest Orange Empire Conference home stand.
On Wednesday, the Dons (9-2, 2-2) made quick work of the Saddleback Bobcats (9-2, 2-2) with a convincing 3-0 win.

Although the Dons didn't play their best, it was enough for the sweep which set up a big match against the two top 25 teams as Santa Ana hosted No. 10 Irvine Valley on Friday night.
The IVC Lasers came out hot and defeated the Dons 25-14 in the first set. But the Dons responded in the second by taking a five point lead midway through the second. Unfortunately, the Lasers were able to make some adjustments, leading to another big run and a 25-16 win.
