The Madera Coyotes girls volleyball team faced a struggling Edison-Fresno team and quickly finished the job.<\/p>

The Coyotes led most of the way against the Tigers, winning 3-0 at home on Tuesday.<\/p>

Madera head coach Meghan Haas was happy with her team\u2019s ability to come out focused against an inferior team.<\/p>

\u201cRight now we\u2019re in the hunt for a CMAC title, so every game we play is important,\u201d Haas said. \u201cWe did well enough to win, so I\u2019m happy with that.\u201d<\/p>

The Coyotes jumped out to a 15-6 lead in the first set and refused to let the Tigers get any closer.<\/p>

Junior outside hitter Brianna Guerrero was a major factor for Madera in the first set, recording six of her nine kills in the set to help the Coyotes\u2019 start fast.<\/p>

Guerrero\u2019s performance in the first set included two straight points which helped the Coyotes take a 22-13 lead.<\/p>

Following up on Guerrero\u2019s success, Alizae Vasquez came up with a kill and a block to give the Coyotes a 24-13.<\/p>

Guerrero then scored the final point with a tip, giving the Coyotes a 25-13 win in the first set.<\/p>

\u201cThe motivation from my team cheering me on to do better and all their energy helped me focus all that energy onto the court,\u201d Guerrero said.<\/p>

The Tigers held a 4-3 lead in the second set, but it was short-lived. Isabella Saucedo, who ended the game with eight kills, scored two straight points to help the Coyotes retake the lead.<\/p>

Saucedo came up with a block later in the set to give the Coyotes an 11-6 lead. The junior had another stretch where she scored two in a row, pushing the lead to 20-6.<\/p>

With two service aces added to her tally, Saucedo led the Coyotes to a 25-7 win in the second set.<\/p>

\u201cWe served well in the second and third set, which took Edison out of its game,\u201d Haas said. \u201cIt makes our job easier on our side, defensively.\u201d<\/p>

The Tigers stayed close for a while in the third set, but it was only a matter of time before the Coyotes pulled away, again. Edison, who trailed 9-8 at one point, found itself in an 18-10 deficit after another kill from Guerrero.<\/p>

Edison then put together its best stretch of the game with a 6-0 run to cut the deficit to 23-17.<\/p>

But Guerrero added two more points to her total before the end, helping the Coyotes walk away with a 25-17 win in the final set to complete the sweep.<\/p>

\u201cI was really focused on hitting in areas that they weren\u2019t in,\u201d Guerrero said. \u201cI was able to find the empty spots.\u201d<\/p>

Madera moved to 4-1 in league with the win and are in a first place tie with Madera South and San Joaquin Memorial-Fresno.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
