The Chadwick girls volleyball team hadn't beaten Prep League powerhouse Mayfield in a while when it finally broke through on Thursday night -- and with a sweep no less. Host Chadwick's 28-26, 25-12, 25-22 win may announce a shift of power in the Prep League. Going into the match, Mayfield was ranked first in CIF Southern Section's Division III-AA and Chadwick third. Those rankings will most likely change next week.
Mayfield has won three straight CIF titles.
"It was great for the girls to get the win and know they can take on anyone in the division," Chadwick coach Mike Cass said.
And the keys to the breakthrough win for Chadwick?
"We minimized our errors and stayed more composed than in other matches," Cass said. "It's dawning on them that they are a good team. If they just go out and play hard the right things will happen."
Abbe Holtz had 11 kills, Zoe Hamilton had nine kils, Lizzie Yates had 27 digs, Corinne Hemmersbach had 17 assists and 12 digs and Sarah Lucinti had eight assists and five aces to help Chadwick's cause.
