Huge congratulations to our Girls Volleyball Team.
On Saturday, 11/23, at Santiago Canyon College in LA, the girls beat Nordhoff HS of Ojai 3-1 (25-12, 25-17, 26-28, 25-21) to win the school's first CIF State Volleyball Championship. Junior Peyton Dueck was named finals MVP. In our only other trip to the state championships, the 1992 team lost to Newport Harbor and future Gold Medalist Misty May.
Nordhoff was the So-Cal #1 seed, coming in with a 33-4 record. Aptos was the #7 seed in Nor-Cal with a 20-15 record.
To earn a berth in the state championships, the Mariners swept thru the Nor-Cal Tournament, dropping only one set in four matches, and beating Tamalpais in the Nor-Cal Finals 3-0.
Congratulations to Head Coach Lake Merchen, and to his assistants and entire team. Quite an accomplishment!
