Mira Costa received an unexpected push from San Clemente in the second round of the CIF Southern Section Division I-AA playoffs, but eventually pulled out a 25-20, 22-25, 25-18, 25-19 victory on Thursday night.

Falyn Fonoimoana had 26 kills and 21 digs as Mira Costa will host the Orange Lutheran-Long Beach Poly winner in Saturday's quarterfinals at 7 p.m.

"Falyn wore them down," Mira Costa coach Lisa Zimmerman said.

Alyssa Anderson had 59 assists and 18 digs, Alex McBride had eight kills and Jackie Gardner had seven kills and seven digs for Mira Costa (25-4). Andi Zbonjniewicz added 14 digs and two aces for Mira Costa.

"My team was anxious to beat them fast," Zimmerman said. "They have to realize in the playoffs you have to play all the way through. Once we steadied out and focused on our side-out game, we were OK."
