Talk about a stunning result.

Torrance surprised Peninsula, 25-19, 12-25, 20-25, 25-19, 15-13 in a thrilling nonleague match at Torrance, giving the Pioneer League an impressive victory over its Bay League counterparts.

Katie Judd had 14 kills, 13 digs and four aces for Torrance. Chelsea Tupuola added 11 kills, 24 digs and two aces. Alyssa Bargerion had 15 digs, and Mylan Hosokawa had 23 assists and seven kills.

This establishes Torrance as a viable threat to South Torrance in the Pioneer League and takes some of the luster away from the South-Peninsula match on Thursday. Peninsula fancies itself as a Bay League contender, but it must close out matches better if it stands a shot in the ultra competitive Bay League.

It also bodes well for the Kim Blankinship Tournament on Saturday at South Torrance that features three matches: North Torrance-Palos Verdes at 3 p.m., Torrance-Bishop Montgomery at 5 p.m. and South Torrance-West Torrance at 7 p.m.

So who saw this coming?
