Her team was within a game of elimination against a powerful foe which had only lost once all season. But Molly Mordaunt Hummel didn’t cook up some long-winded, passionate speech.
She kept it simple. She just told the Delta Mustangs to be themselves and play their best. And they followed her advice to pull off a stunning upset.
The Mustangs rallied from a two-game deficit to beat Cabrillo 20-25, 21-25, 25-22, 25-20, 15-13 on Saturday in the CCCAA State Women’s Volleyball Championship semifinals and advance to the state finals at 3 p.m. today against Irvine Valley or College of the Canyons.
