The Lady Triton Volleyball program has had much success since it was launched in 2015. A 13-9 record in its first year of varsity competition back in 2016, a CIF final appearance in 2018, and three consecutive CIF postseason appearances. However, it is still looking for its first League title in school history. Something Coach Amy would love toachieve in her first year, specifically for the senior class.
