The GW Geckos look to defend their title and keep their championship run going, defeating the young St. John’s Knights in two sets, 25-19, 25-9, at the GW gym Saturday night.
The determination of the Geckos showed its colors after hard kills and aces to start the season right. With the Knights committing multiple errors, the Geckos led the struggling St. John’s team through the first set. But Gecko errors kept the Knights close behind till GW soon rose to finish the set with a first set advantage over their opponents.
At the start of the second, the Geckos took an early 9-0 lead over the Knights, but a kill from Knights Ray Bacalia and an ace from Jacob Ishizu put their team on the board. Multiple kills and aces from Lester Gaitan and Matthew Soto kept the Geckos going.
With multiple untimely errors from St. John’s, the Geckos kept their lead in check, ending the night with a huge lead of 25-9.
“I feel great; it’s always great to win the first game,” said GW’s head coach Ed Duenas. “We still have a lot of work to do. A lot of jellying to do so as the season progresses, I hope the chemistry comes together.”
The Geckos lost most of their starters to graduation last year, starting this year off with only two returnee starters and a lot of JV players moving up; Coach Duenas said, “This year, a lot of them moved up from JV so they know the program. It’s nothing new in our system, so I feel confident about this team going into the rest of the season.”
