Girls’ volleyball: Wolverines take Game 1

With mockingly annoying chants of ‘she’s a sophomore’ by the red and black mass echoing through the Harvard-Westlake gym, sophomore Megan Norton recorded five kills to lead the Wolverines to a 25-15 victory over Laguna Beach in Game 1.

Princeton-bound Cathryn Quinn also had a strong opening game with three kills and a couple blocks.

Laguna Beach Coach Lance Stewart wasn’t exactly thrilled with his team’s play, though, and he didn’t shy away from expressing his feelings to the team between games. We’ll see if the Breakers can rebound in Game 2.

The first game also featured a volleyball draining through one of the cranked-up basketball practice hoops hanging above the grandstands. The Wolverines were able to still play the ball after it went through the hoop, much to the chagrin of Stewart. However, the Breakers got the point, so all was well after the whistle was blown.
