Santa Margarita celebrates its victory over Orange Lutehran on Tuesday. Kevin Sullivan, The Register
It was bound to happen, or perhaps not, but in either case the nightmare is no more.
Santa Margarita finally won in Orange Lutheran's gym. It happened Tuesday night in four games, 25-19, 21-25, 25-16, 25-19, to close out Trinity League play.
Orange Lutheran defeated Mater Dei for the fifth year in a row, 28-25, on Friday night in a game that featured seven lead changes. Victor Blackwell set a Mater Dei record with 257 yards receiving and three touchdowns.
Orange Lutheran's backup QB, Mike Markovsky, threw for four touchdowns. He led the Lancers on a scoring drive with 15 seconds left in the game, but Mater Dei had one last chance to win it.
Check out highlights from the game and postgame interviews in this video by OCVarsity.com's Jonathan Khamis.

OCVarsity.com released the girls volleyball preseason top 10 and season preview Tuesday.
It was a true preseason top 10, as the rankings were turned in ahead of this weekend's Queen's Court tournament hosted by Foothill High School, where Corona del Mar and Orange Lutheran promised to mix up the next poll.
The boys volleyball season official ended the second week of June.
The news hasn't stopped though. Here's a look at the All-CIF teams that were named.
Division I
In the Division I baseball playoffs on Friday:
Capistrano Valley 8, Long Beach Wilson 4: Tyler Matzek threw four no-hit innings and Charles Pfirrmann hit a second-inning grand slam as the Cougars breezed through their opening-round game of the CIF-SS Division I playoffs.
Matzek, who moved to 10-1 on the season, was hardly tested, striking out six on 39 pitches.
Pfirrmann's grand slam helped Capo Valley (22-6) enter the fifth inning with a 6-0 cushion and an opportunity to rest their ace.
The playoffs continue Friday. Only a handful of county teams remain in contention.
Here's look at Division I:
Here are my final rankings of the season for the 11-25 teams in the county.
