VYPE 2022 Volleyball Preview - THE CONTENDERS: Cy Ranch Mustangs

Hear that? It’s the thundering of the Mustangs stampeding into the 2022 season. Cypress Ranch is coming off a year where they went 39-4 overall, rolled through district play and advanced to the second round of the playoffs.

This is a program that hasn’t been past the second round since 2014 ... that is eight years. But all streaks are meant to come to an end at some point.

Led by Texas A&M-commit Bianna Muoneke, who recorded an unbelievable 673 kills in 106 sets (6.3 kills/set), will lead the offense followed by sophomore Taylor Porter, who had 380 kills.

Taryn Gilreath had 259 kills. Tya Lynch led the defense at the net with 72 blocks. Defensively, they will have to replace Kailee Gims but Muoneke (390 digs) and Porter (324 digs) should fill in nicely.

Gilreath will be leaned on to operate the offense after recording 555 assists a year ago.
