Six matches into the season, the Mountain View High girls volleyball team hasn’t lost a set. “We’re off to a good start so far,” said coach Dave Winn, whose Spartans swept Santa Clara in Thursday’s season opener and won all their matches at Saturday’s St. Francis-Watsonville Tournament in straight sets. Mountain View was tested in the tourney final – the squad faced “a scrappy, energetic Crystal Springs Uplands team,” Winn said – winning the second and final set 25-23.
