RIPON – Manteca’s Sarah Inderbitzin got a block to steal the serve in the fifth set and then reeled off the final eight service points to help the Buffaloes escape the Ripon Christian with a thrilling 25-22, 25-20, 17-25, 22-25, 15-4 win over the Knights in non-league volleyball action. Paige Vos (two blocks) had just got one of her team-leading 15 kills to bring Ripon Christian (5-3) within 6-4 in the final set when Inderbitzin stuffed a block for a7-4 Manteca lead, and then she took the service line and did not leave it the rest of the game. “I was nervous because I had to keep them consistent,” Inderbitzin said of her serves.
