Sequoia’s 5-4 senior Joslin Fiel led a standout defense effort with 26 digs as the Ravens (1-0 PAL Bay, 6-2 overall) held off visiting Burlingame (0-1, 3-7) for a 25-13, 12-25, 11-25, 25-20, 15-9 victory in Redwood City Thursday.
It is Sequoia’s first win over Burlingame since 2004.

The victory marks the first time since 2019 the Ravens have won their league opener, and Sequoia’s 6-2 overall record is the program’s best start since 2015.
Sophomore outside hitter Leilah Abrams scored a match-high 20 kills to lead the undefeated Gators (1-0 WBAL Foothill, 6-0 overall) to the win in their West Bay Athletic League Foothill Division opener at neighbor Menlo School (0-1, 0-9).
Abrams’ average of 6.7 match kills per set marks a career high for the second-year varsity standout. She fell one defensive play shy of a double-double with nine match digs. Junior setter Kiley McGibben did record a double-double with 26 assists and 15 digs, both team-highs. Senior libero Peyton Fu-Sarosa added 13 digs for SHP.
With their sixth straight win, the Gators are off to their best start 2006, when the team won seven straight to open the year.
The Lady Dons (1-0 PAL Bay, 6-2 overall) rode a double-double from Poppy McKenzie to a 25-14, 25-17, 17-25, 25-20 win in their Peninsula Athletic League Bay Division opener at home against Carlmont (0-1, 1-5).
