As the No. 5 seed, Sage Hill was expected to take out Crean Lutheran, but I’m a little surprised that Sage Hill was able to do it in a sweep against their Academy League rival.

SoCal D4 Round 2 Surprise

By seed lines, No. 10 Heritage Christian’s defeat of No. 2 Archer looks like a massive upset, but these two teams met only a few weeks ago in the CIFSS D7 semifinals, and Heritage pushed Archer to five sets, so the fact that Heritage got the win this time around doesn’t come as too big of a surprise.

SoCal D4 Round 2 Standouts

Heritage Christian senior outside hitter Cammie Fernandez had 16 kills, six aces, and 17 digs. Her teammate junior outside hitter Rebecca Neighbors added 16 kills and 27 digs as the Warriors avenged a sectional semifinal loss to reach the regional semifinal.
