Boys volleyball: CdM sweeps Costa Mesa

CORONA DEL MAR - The Corona del Mar High boys volleyball team

grabbed a piece of the Pacific Coast League title following Friday’s

15-2, 15-9, 15-4 win over visiting Costa Mesa.

“That was one of our goals going into this season,” CdM Coach Steve

Conti said about the PCL crown. “We want to get as good a seed as we can

for the upcoming playoffs.”

Bart Welch led the Sea Kings with six kills, four aces and even digs,

while Ryan Inman added seven kills and two aces.

Despite being on top of the PCL, there’s still match to go, Friday’s

6:30 p.m. nonleague clash with crosstown rival Newport Harbor in the Sea

Kings’ gym.

“These are the fun matches you look forward to the most,” Conti said.

“Whoever wins that contest will have the momentum going in the right

direction for the playoffs.”

Carlos Jaime led the Mustangs with six kills. “If we would have played

as good (Friday) as we did (Thursday) in the Alumni Game, this match

would have gone five,” Mesa Coach Dave Sorrells said. “I’m looking

forward to next season. We’ve got the foundation in place for something

special down the road.”
