Sailors sweep

NEWPORT BEACH - Hemet High’s Bulldogs were no match for

second-seeded Newport Harbor Thursday night in the second round of the

CIF Division II-AA Girls Volleyball Playoffs.

The host Sailors, 19-9, used less than an hour to dispose of the

Sunbelt League representatives, 15-4, 15-4, 15-6, behind the play of

Kristin McClune, Alyson Jennings, Liz Lord and Katie King, among others.

McClune had 12 kills and three service aces in the two games she

played, and Jennings (10 kills), Lord (seven kills) and King (39 assists)

stood out.

Hemet exits with a 14-9 mark.

“We’re starting to come together,” said Newport Coach Dan Glenn.

A coin flip today will determine Saturday night’s host in the

quarterfinals against Saugus (21-3) or Mark Keppel.
