Carmel-Monterey volleyball

Thursday's game
Carmel at Monterey, 6:30 p.m.
 This match intrigues me.
 The Padres are coming off a Mission Trail Athletic League title and 27 win season while Monterey captured the Monterey Bay League's Pacific Division crown.
 Of course, the reward for the Toreadores this fall is a trip to the Gabilan Division, despite losing its leading hitter and libero to graduation.
 Carmel has some holes to fill as well, losing four all-leaguers, including two four-year starters from last season's record setting team.
 Monterey has some parts to play with, namely Giana Astengo, who compiled nearly 200 kills last year, as well as leading the team with 62 aces.
 The cupboard isn't bare for Carmel as Megan Gonzalez is back at the net along with Hana Nystrom, Lauren Salvati and sophomore Alex Weber.
