MURRIETA – Southwestern League volleyball action got underway this past week and Vista Murrieta picked up where they left off in 2022, without a loss. Two days after defeating Temecula Valley 3-1 Tuesday, Sept. 12, the Broncos (8-1) entered the “Den” to face Great Oak (5-10) and left with a 3-1 victory over the Wolfpack.

In a match that was not filled with much flash, Vista Murrieta defeated Great Oak in workman like fashion. The Wolfpack did stretch the match to four sets by winning the third by the score of 25-16. Vista Murrieta has won eight straight matches after falling in their season opener to Marymount.

This upcoming week the Broncos will be home to take on Murrieta Valley (9-4, 1-0), and Murrieta Mesa (13-6, 0-1), with match times set for 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 19, and Thursday, Sept. 21.
