Loyola volleyball to play for top spot in nation Saturday
Loyola's varsity volleyball squad sat atop the national rankings going into last Saturday's CIF Southern Section Division I championship match, but the Cubs dropped a spot in the MaxPreps rankings as a result of a three-set sweep at the hands of Corona dell Mar. Now the Sea Kings are perched at the number one spot.
With Loyola's four-set win over a game Oak Park team and CdM's four-set victory over neighborhood rival Newport Harbor on Thursday night in the CIF State Southern California Regional playoffs, the stage is set for a battle to determine who is the best prep volleyball club in the nation. The showdown at Edison High in Huntington Beach on Saturday at 5:30 p.m. marks the third time the Cubs and Sea Kings have met this season. Loyola defeated CdM in a five-set non-league marathon at Leavey Gymnasium on April 26 before it fell to the Sea Kings last Saturday in the Southern Section Div. I title match.
Cub head coach MICHAEL BOEHLE '84 wants every Loyola fan in the stands on Saturday to support the Cubs in as big a match as there could be, with the winner to be crowned national champs.
