South Los Angeles, CA – The Fremont Pathfinders made a statement in their first home game of the season, sweeping the New West Charter Eagles 3-0 in a dominant performance.
Fremont (1-1) entered the match in a tough spot, still reeling from a season-opening loss that placed them 7th in the Coliseum League standings. Meanwhile, New West (2-1) came in flying high, having won back-to-back league matches to start the season, including a 3-0 rout over Hawkins High School. But when the two teams clashed on Friday, history repeated itself—just as they did in April, the Eagles fell hard to the Pathfinders.
Key Players & Game Breakdown
From the first whistle, Adrian Ortiz (#8) set the tone for Fremont. His six quick kills in the opening set, combined with seamless team coordination, propelled the Pathfinders to an early advantage. The first set was over in a flash, as Fremont racked up 25 points to claim a commanding lead in the match.
New West showed resilience in the second set, starting strong and briefly threatening to shift momentum. But Fremont wasn’t fazed. Behind the leadership of Team Captain Herson Osorio (#9)—who tallied an impressive 15 kills—the Pathfinders quickly reasserted control, shutting down any hope of an Eagles comeback.
