The Glendale women’s volleyball team has definitely made some changes to improve themselves this season.

This year, the Lady Vaqs are off to a great start with a record of 8-7 overall and 4-1 in the Western State Conference. They have won six out of their last seven games.
The Lady Vaqs are currently in third place in conference, following undefeated Bakersfield and College of the Canyons.

The Vaqs, along with the Renegades and the Cougars, all have winning records. The only loss the Lady Vaqs had was against Canyons, in which they lost 3-0.

Last week, the Lady Vaqs faced Citrus College at home, where the girls played five exhilarating games.
