The Dons lost to visiting Cypress College in straight sets Wednesday, for the sixth match in a row.

The Chargers continued the momentum.

“They were pretty good,” sophomore Madison Logan said.
In the third set the Dons kept the score close, almost tying twice. But Cypress would win the set 25-16.
“ We did pretty good, we could have done better I’ve seen our best and this wasn’t our best,” said Cypress freshman Rockelle Gholson.
