St. Francis-Notre Dame volleyball

Tuesday's game
St. Francis, Mountain View (10-0) at Notre Dame (14-1), 6:30 p.m.
 You're not going to see a better team -- perhaps in California than the Lancers, who are ranked in the nation and undefeated.
 St. Francis already has wins over two state ranked teams, including No. 5 Presentation, who sent the Spirits to their only loss this year.
 Five players stand over six feet that spend time at the net for St. Francis, including senior outside hitter Jenna Adams. However, this is a team that shares the wealth in the front row.
 Owners of two tournament titles, the Spirits have won 14 straight home matches dating back to last year's Central Coast Section Division V title run.
 Nikki DeSerpa has recorded 140 kills in Notre Dame's first 15 matches, feeding off sets from Julia Scattini.
 For the Spirits to battle against this high powered offense, they need touches at the net from the likes of Adeline Laughton and Jennifer Lane to slow the velocity of attempts coming in their direction.
 Mikeila Banda  has been a rock in the back row for Notre Dame, as has DeSerpa and Kate Lathos on rotation.
