It's going to be a big game for us."

Merced was unable to stop 6'1" middle blocker KiAnna Cunningham (Woodlake); she was the driving force behind the Giant's win Wednesday night. She reached a season high of 23 kills and added three solo blocks and one blocking assist. Cunningham could not have achieved these numbers without setter Reina Sykes (Golden Valley) who contributed 38 assists.
