"Marymount's girls volleyball team is peaking at the right time - and that could mean trouble for opponents. The Sailors had everything working for them in a 25-13, 25-17, 25-15 sweep of visiting Mira Costa in the Southern Section Division 1 quarterfinals on Tuesday night, showing no signs of rust after a first-round bye in the 12-team bracket. "We couldn't have been more prepared," Washington-bound senior hitter Sammy Destler said."
"Marymount's serving kept Mira Costa out of system all match. In the first set alone the Sailors served seven aces, including three in a row by Southern Methodist-bound middle blocker Elle Vandeweghe, that put her team up 20-9. She and Destler combined for a stuff block on set point. Destler opened the second set with another ace, then Frankie Jones ended it with a kill. Destler and Makenna Barnes, a Northwestern commit, had eight kills apiece while Vandeweghe and the Brown-bound Jones each added six."
