​Space Coast entered its road match at Titusville on Aug. 27 with all the momentum in the midst of a four-game winning streak.While it wasn’t their cleanest performance of the season, the Vipers managed to sweep the Terriers 25-21, 25-14, 25-14 to extend their winning streak to five.“It was not pretty. I’m not happy with that performance at all. I’m happy for wins, but I want to make sure we are being prepared to do the little things when we get to the better teams. We were trying to use this to get back to where we were like a week ago,” Space Coast head coach Jay Penn said. “We just continue to miss serves. Of course, Gwen (Cotham) comes in and does her thing and just doesn’t miss serves. I can’t have one person just doing the whole thing. We got so much hitting talent and we can’t spread the ball around when we’re sitting here putting the ball back and forth into their net.”Space Coast jumped out to a big lead in the first set, but slowly saw it chip away by Titusville as it got to 23-21. However, the Vipers were able to close out the set on an ace from junior Gwen Cotham.The Terriers led 10-9 in the second set, but Space Coast rattled off 13 unanswered points to win the set comfortably. The Vipers never trailed in the third set.“It was not our best, but we’re definitely putting in the work,” Cotham said. “We have some stuff we need to fix, but we’re also a little tired right now.”Cotham spearheaded the Vipers attack as the team’s setter. She made her mark, however, behind on the service line. Beginning with the ace serve that closed out the first set, Cotham recorded 10 aces including four during the team’s 13-0 second-set run.“It’s just focusing on what I can control,” Cotham said. “Just making sure I’m putting my energy and my mindset to what I can do and just focusing on taking care of what I can for my team.”The junior setter, who had 129 assists through the team’s first four games, was among the county leaders with 631 assists last year in her first full season in the role. Penn said Cotham is naturally a hitter but bought into the setter role last season full-time after years of finding the right player to fill that position.“It’s so much better. Coach (Amanda) Hollis is really putting in effort to make sure I’m getting where I need to get,” Cotham said. “Coach Penn is giving us the opportunities to work on everything.”Another standout player for the Vipers is senior Isabella Taylor. Her 51 kills and 54 digs through the first four matches led the team. Penn said Taylor has been underestimated her whole career because of her height.“She’s (Taylor) got a rocket for an arm. She puts work every day in the gym and in the weight room,” Penn said. “She could go play libero at most colleges. That’s how good her defense is. The sky’s the limit for her.”After losing to Brevard HEAT in four sets in the season opener, Space Coast has swept its last five matches including t
