Girls volleyball outplayed the Temple City Rams on Tuesday, Sept. 17 at home. The Tigers controlled the first set with memorable saves, but lost their footing as the match carried on. Avoidable errors on the Tigers’ end made for a close third set, but South Pasadena took the match nonetheless 25-12, 25-19, and 25-23.
