The James Logan Colts girls volleyball team swept Irvington 3-0 on Tuesday, October 13, in Union City, winning all three sets (25-10, 25-16, 25-16) in a conference matchup that pushes the program to 22-6. (MaxPreps)

How the Colts Controlled All Three Sets

The scoring line tells the story of a team that never let Irvington build sustained momentum. Set one closed at 25-10, a 15-point margin that established control before the visiting Vikings could settle into a rhythm. Sets two and three tightened to 25-16 apiece, but the Colts never surrendered the lead in any frame and never trailed by more than a handful of points.

According to the MaxPreps box score for the October 13 conference game in Union City, the final set lines read:

• Set 1: 25-10
• Set 2: 25-16
• Set 3: 25-16

The 15-point gap in the opener suggests Irvington never found a consistent rhythm against the Colts' serve and transition game. The tighter second and third sets show Irvington adjusting at the net, rotating blockers, and trying to attack over the middle. The Colts' back-row depth and sustained serving pressure held through that adjustment period, and the match was over before Irvington could mount a fourth-set threat.

Who Led the Colts Offensively?

The @jlhsgirlsvb Instagram post for the game named five players with standout numbers. Here is what the post logged for the October 13 sweep:

• Bea Jacinto: 8 kills, 4 aces, 4 digs
• Sarah Chiu: 12 assists, 3 aces
• Kamilla Silvas: 11 digs
• Ila Tafreshi: 4 kills
• Ashley Tran: 10 assists

Chiu and Tran combined for 22 assists across the match, and the Colts never trailed in any of the three frames. Jacinto's four aces in a three-set match show sustained pressure from the serving line, not a single burst of power. Silvas' 11 digs kept rallies alive through the middle of the match when Irvington pushed back and tried to extend points.

James Logan Colts volleyball 2026 is built on that kind of balanced production. No single player carried the load. Five names appear in the stat line, and the team won all three sets without dropping one.

A Win That Reset the Streak

Before Tuesday, the Colts sat at 21-6 after a 0-2 loss to San Ramon Valley on October 10. That result ended a run and left the team nursing a conference setback heading into the Irvington matchup. The sweep moved the record to 22-6 and the streak marker to W1.

The bounce-back matters for a few specific reasons:

• The loss to San Ramon Valley (0-2 on 10/10) was the only blemish in an otherwise strong stretch for the program
• The Irvington win came at home in Union City, in a conference game, against a team that had been competitive earlier in the season
• The Colts did not need to win by 15 in all three sets. They needed to win all three. They did.

The 22-6 record gives the program plenty to build on heading into the next conference fixture. The W1 marker is small on the scoreboard, but it resets the locker room after the two-set loss to San Ramon Valley.

Thursday in Fremont: Mission San Jose

The next fixture is the Mission San Jose Warriors, playing Thursday, October 15. The Colts will be looking to add a second straight win on the road, in an environment where the crowd is not on their side.

For the James Logan volleyball squad, the immediate question is whether the serving pressure and back-row depth from Tuesday carry over when the home crowd belongs to the other team. The answer comes Thursday in Fremont, and the next Tri-City Athlete recap will follow.
