The energy in Sovine Gymnasium was palpable and translated into an inspired effort by the Dos Pueblos High girls’ volleyball team.

The Chargers scratched, clawed, and outlasted rival San Marcos to claim a five-set thriller, 18-25, 25-20, 22-25, 25-14, 15-11 on Thursday night in the Channel League opener for both teams.

“We’ve had the same two goals every single time we walk into the gym. We’re going to over-communicate, and we’re always going to give our best effort,” said Dos Pueblos coach Megan O’Carroll. “They came in super-focused and ready to take care of business.”
