What happened: The Breakers overcame Calvary Chapel’s hot start and triumph in four games, 15-25, 25-18, 25-14, 25-18, in Orange Coast League play Thursday night at Laguna Beach High.

Records: Laguna Beach 6-4, 2-0; 13-11, 0-1

Impact: After an easy victory to open league Tuesday, Laguna Beach was tested by the Eagles. Calvary showed they are the odds-on favorite for second place. And there’s no question Calvary got the Breakers attention for the next go around. That won’t be easy playing at Calvary with that student body hyped.

Player of the game: Allison Palmer. The sophomore setter dazzled with 44 assists and 14 digs, and 4 blocks in the final game.

Dandy in defeat: Taylor Manuel and Julie Consani. Manuel led the Eagles with 20 kills, and her athleticism was a big reason Calvary was in the match. Consani is a junior setter who posted 28 assists and 16 digs. She is among the better setters in the county. Her passing was accurate most of the night.
