Their record is immaculate. Their streak is staggering.

The Mira Costa Mustangs wrapped up the volleyball season at 37-0 and won their fourth consecutive state title after beating San Jose Mitty, 25-17, 25-23, 25-16, Saturday night at San Jose State to win the Division II championship.

Mira Costa -- with its first unbeaten year since 1989 -- extended its winning streak to 41 matches.
