The Gilroy girls volleyball team is on a roll. The Mustangs ignited a two-game winning streak with a 3-0 win over Pajaro Valley at home Wednesday. GHS won 25-18, 25-9, 25-20.  Sarah Weiby led the way for Gilroy, racking up 11 kills in the game. Alexis Conley added seven kills while McKenna Moreley and Leilani Mah each had five a piece.  Jenna Clonts and Mah acted like a brick wall, guarding the net and coming up with four blocks each.
