Oakdale made quick work of Manteca at Winter Gym on Wednesday, sweeping in three (25-13, 25-11, 25-11) behind potent serving.

“Oakdale is always a challenge for us,” Manteca coach Tim Horning said. “They put a lot of pressure on our service receive. Our leading hitters had two kills, which shows that just struggled to get any kind of offense going. Most of our passes were all over the place.”

McKenna Balmut and Julia Martinez turned in two kills each. Setter Ashley Gase had four assists to go with two aces. Morgan Miramontes contributed two aces and four digs. Nicole Magnusson also finished with two digs.

The Buffaloes (1-2 Valley Oak League, 4-4 overall) look to bounce back Monday when they head to crosstown rival Sierra.
