Quarterfinals

DIVISION I

Westlake d. Mater Dei, 23-25, 25-23, 19-25, 25-19, 15-11
Santa Ana Mater Dei had second-seeded Westlake Village Westlake on the ropes all night Friday, but the Monarchs committed 46 unforced errors and that was just enough for Westlake to escape with a five-game victory in the Southern Section Divison I boys’ volleyball quarterfinal match.

The victory advances Westlake to Wednesday’s semifinal against Irvine Woodbridge.

Westlake was equally as bad, committing 44 unforced errors.

Host Mater Dei was up two games to one and seemingly in control, 15-13, in the fourth game when Westlake rallied with four consecutive points. The final point of that rally came on a kill by Joey Zuziak, capping the longest rally of the night.

Mater Dei led, 7-3, in the fifth game following a block by John Thomas. But Westlake caught the Monarchs at 10-10 and then Mater Dei surrendered four of the last five points on hitting errors.

Matt Schneider led Westlake with 14 kills. Thomas had 13 kills and two blocks for Mater Dei.
