It came as a surprise to everyone, from fans to coaches to players, when the top-ranked Monarchs beat No. 2 Mira Costa in the Division 1 finals.
Nobody in the gym at Cerritos College could have anticipated a sweep in the Southern Section Division 1 girls' volleyball championship match Saturday night. Not the fans, not the coaches and probably not even the Mater Dei High players. However, the Monarchs put on a nearly flawless display that surprised even themselves in a 28-26, 25-15, 25-20 victory over Mira Costa in a showdown between the top two ranked teams in the state.
“Right now we’re decompressing but in a few days we’ll be focusing on that goal for sure,” she said after receiving a hug from Clark. “There were some errors and transition plays we should’ve made but they played their hearts out.” Division 2: JSerra swept Orange Lutheran 25-22, 25-23, 25-17 to claim its first section title in its first finals appearance.
