By AYUMI YOSHIHAMA Staff Writer

I am an international student from Japan, born and raised in Okinawa. I came to the United States to attend community college in Northern California and earn my Associate’s degree. I transferred to CSUSB to earn my Bachelor’s degree in Communication, and this is my last quarter in the U.S. Before I came to the states, I did not like to study much, so my English was not that great. I could read and write one sentence and speak in broken English, but struggled with comprehension. Since I have been listening to Ameri- can and British music, I started looking to improve my English skills, and I became more serious about studying English. After graduating from high school in Okinawa, I decided to attend an English language school in Tokyo for a year in order to get into college in the U.S. It was not easy, as I started from the lowest English level class. I studied diligently, averaging only three or four hours of sleep every night. After all the effort I put in, I passed a Ayumi Yoshihama | Chronicle Photo test to enter college a year later.

Coyotes faced off in an intense match against the Cal Poly Pomona Broncos on Oct. 2 at Coussoulis Arena. The crowd of 502 spectators watched as both teams fought hard to declare a victory. Coyotes seemed to have a rough start, but came back playing a tough second set against the Broncos. The players made many kills, a type of spike that cannot be returned, grant- ing the team a point and the game consisted of 32 ties and 15 lead changes. The Coyotes gave it their all, but the Broncos came out on top, winning the game 3-2. However, the Coyote volleyball team did not let their unexpected loss to the Broncos slow them down when they went up against the UC San Diego Tri- tons on Oct. 4. It was a good game with 17 ties and 6 lead changes. The intense game ended with the Coyotes reigning over the Tritons 3-2. This win was an impressive recov- ery from their previous loss against Cal Poly Pomona. “I have gone to a few of their games in the past and I’m always so impressed by how they handle themselves on the court, they are so good and play with a lot of intensity,” said CSUSB student Alisha Villalobos. Head Coach Kim Cherniss, took over the Coyote volleyball team more than two decades ago, and has been building an unstoppable team ever since then. The Fall 2014 volleyball roaster consist of seniors Arielle McCullough, Tori May and Junior Brenna McIntosh, to name a few. These players have set themselves apart as strong competitors and are only a portion of the incredible talent that forms our Coyote Volleyball team. “It is deﬁ nitely a cool thing to see a team that is made up of just women be recognized as a nationally ranked team and be the ones who are representing our school,” said Villalobos. The team has earned prominence throughout the years and seem to have set out to make this season better than their last. The Coyotes start the ﬁ rst half of the 2014 volleyball season when they compete against Cal State Los Angeles and Cal State Dominguez Hills on Oct. 9 and 10, respectively. Coming off their incredible last season of 26 wins and six losses, we can see why our Coyote volleyball team is a force to be reckoned with. Coyotes have shown great sports- manship and if they remain focused they will continue to be a top-ranked team. Students can support the Coyote volleyball team by maintaining their faith and attending their next home game on Thursday, Oct. 16 as they face Cal State Monterrey Bay.
