Boys volleyball: Artists brush off CdM

CORONA DEL MAR - A combination of several unforced errors and a

polished effort by visiting Laguna Beach resulted in a 15-9, 15-5, 7-15,

15-8 Pacific Coast League-opening boys volleyball loss for Corona del Mar

Tuesday.

The Sea Kings (2-2), missed 11 serves in the first two games and had

two hitters hit for a negative percentage, according to CdM Coach Steve

Conti, who did not wish to take away from Laguna’s effort.

“I thought (the Artists) played very well,” said Conti, whose team

entered the week ranked No. 8 in Orange County.

The Sea Kings, who received 12 kills from junior Eric Jones, visit

Estancia Thursday.
