BAKERSFIELD, Calif. – The California State University, Bakersfield volleyball team closed out the Central California Challenge with one final battle Saturday evening. This time around, the Roadrunners went toe-to-toe with their Central Valley rivals Fresno State, but the visiting Bulldogs came out on top in a 3-1 decision in the Icardo Center. Bakersfield will now shift its focus to the start of Big West play next weekend.

Quotes from Head Coach Giovana Melo

"I thought we had some great moments today and all weekend."
"We showed we have the potential to be a very good team, but to be able to succeed, we have to be good for a long period of time and right now we are not doing that."
"We need to get back to work on Monday!"
