Newport Harbor took the opening game 25-17. Los Al's service return broke down late. Newport Harbor has plenty of weapons and they are using them all.

Los Al has been down before to start, so this is nothing new to them.
Update 7

Update 6
Timeout Los Alamitos, and you know what that means. Newport Harbor leads 18-15. NH middle Katey Thompson has been the key so far. She has 1 of the team's 3 aces, and has combined on 4 blocks. Without Croson out, the hitting depth now favors NH.
