The La Jolla Country Day girls volleyball team stuck to its winning ways by sweeping Palo Verde High School 25-6, 25-5 and 25-18 in the CIF Division IV quarterfinals Nov. 12. The top-seeded Torreys enjoyed a first-round bye before meeting the Yellowjackets. The victory marked the 13th straight for the streaking Torreys, who improved to 27-3 overall. Lauren Burkes dished out a team-high 20 assists in the win. Maya Hood and Kendal Peterkin hammered out eight kills apiece and Mollie Rogers added seven kills to the LJCD effort. LJCD head coach Peter Ogle said the victory was easier than it should have been because of a scheduling conflict involving homecoming for Palo Verde. That caused several seniors on the team to miss the game. “It was a really tough game for the other team,” Ogle said. “They had to call up some JV players to fill out their roster. They were really shorthanded.” The Torreys swept Francis Parker in the semifinals on Tuesday, 25-16, 25-17, 25-19. They play Santa Fe Christian in the finals on Saturday, Nov. 20, at 11:45 a.m. at Del Norte High School.
