The Saints Sweep the Bearcats!
LaVERNE- The San Dimas Saints swept the Bonita Bearcats in their cross-town/ intra-district rivalry match, 25-10, 25-19 and 25-20.
The Regents Keep Their Winning Streak Alive
GLENDORA- The St. Lucy's Regents kept their winning ways alive with another sweep, this time defeating Los Altos 25-20, 25-15, 25-17. Juliet McClure served up a storm in set one, with 5 service aces in 6 attempts, leading Lucy's to the comfortable win. Set two was typical Regent fare: winning by an efficient ten-point margin on strong team and defensive play. Set three saw some standout play by Mo Hageman, with a couple crushing kills and impressive roofs, but also some uncharacteristic defensive errors. Coach Douglas called time with a 15-14 lead and apparently put the girls back on track as they rallied to a 25-17 finish, relying on more tough serving by McClure and a dual block by Rohrer and Caustrita to close the books. I did not get the stat leaders, but check your newspaper in the morning because there was a reporter on site.

St. Lucy's Keeps On Sweeping
RANCHO CUCAMONGA- The Regents kept the pre-season sweeps going when they took on the Los Osos Grizzlies earlier this evening. St. Lucy's downed Los Osos 25-18, 25-14, 26-24.
The match started in the same manner as the other pre-season matches, with the ladies of St. Lucy's Priory dictating play. Midway through the first set, the Regents led by five and stretched that lead to seven before they were through. Set two went much the same way, with the Regents jumping out to an early lead and never looking back. They took set two by 11.
However, the young and resilient Grizzlies were not quite ready to throw in the towel. Los Osos came out ferociously in the third set, and jumped out to an early lead on some tough serving by Ashley Kaylor. Then the battle began. The teams traded leads of two to three points and exhibited a very high level of play on both sides of the net. St. Lucy's Coach Douglas called a time out with his team trailing 20-21, and the Regents came back to even the score. Then freshman Loryn Clark hammered a shot down the right side to give the Regents a 22-21 lead. The teams fought back and forth and found themselves tied at 23, at which point the Grizzlies served an ace and gained the opportunity to put the set away. Lucy's leveled it at 24 with strong defense and went ahead 25-24 on a tip to zone 4 by Marissa Hageman. Arden Davis made a crucial dig on the next point, Juliet McClure pushed the set to the outside, and Roni LaPierre finished the match with a kill down the line.
The stat leaders for the night were Roni LaPierre with 15 kills and 12 digs, Marissa Hageman with 11 kills, Loryn Carter with 9 kills, Dianna Rohrer with 8 kills, Arden Davis with 14 digs, Eryn Young with 11 digs and 4 aces, and Juliet McClure with 44 assists and 2 aces.

The Regents Tame the Bearcats!
LA VERNE-- The Regents marched into Bonita's beautiful new gym and soundly trounced the outmanned Bearcats! Both the Frosh/Soph and Junior Varsity teams took their matches in two. Then came Varsity... for a final sweep of the night, taking the match 25-12, 25-8 and 25-15.
Bonita never really got within striking distance. They were simply outmatched in every position. Loryn Carter, Dianna Rohrer and Marissa Hageman put up a block that was just too big for the tough hitting but much smaller Riley Inman. Coach Douglas utilized some of his very deep bench, giving time to newcomers Rachel Cavanaugh and Desi Villajian, with Cavanaugh ending the second set on an ace serve. Sydney Bast took a turn at setting in the third set and kept the Regents in the mix. Ultimately, the usual suspects brought the match to a long hot end!
The stat leaders for the night were Roni LaPierre (9 kills), Vanessa Caustrita (7 kills), Loryn Carter (7 kills, 3 blocks), Dianna Rohrer (6 kills/3 blocks) and Arden Davis (12 digs).
