For only the 12thtime in 47 years of Girls CIF Volleyball Playoffs, Laguna has advanced to the finals where they will face Village Christian (33-9) at 2 p.m. at Cerritos College this Saturday, November 3.

The match will be broadcast live on the internet at Fox Sports West Prep Zone.

How they Got There – Semifinals Saturday, Oct. 27 at Cypress High School:

Breakers rallied after being down 2-0 in sets to defeat the Centurions (23-5) 21-25, 20-25, 25-18, 25-19, 15-12 in front of an engaged crowd at the loser’s gym. Breakers were trailing 7-4 in set three when a Cambria Hall kill sent Piper Naess to serve. The junior out-side hitter hit two aces in six straight point earning serves to flip the momentum and lead the comeback. Also key was the blocking of Kendall Fraser (two solo, four block assists), Jackie Strawn (solo, 2 block assists) Sophie Reavis (solo, four block assists), and Soren Patchel (four block assists, 11 digs, 45 assists). Cambria Hall was deadly with 23 kills, Naess had 20, while Halle Carballo passed 50 serves and recorded 24 digs. The fifth set look like a blowout with a 13-6 Laguna lead before a Cypress comeback almost took the match.

Village Christian has led the division all season and defeated Laguna in four sets back on September 21 in Dugger Gym. 25-21, 23-25, 25-20, 25-18.
