GVB: Royals in fifth at Royal Tournament

San Marcos’ girls volleyball team went undefeated in pool play on Saturday at the Royal Tournament, but lost its first winner’s bracket match to Notre Dame Academy and finished in fifth place.

The Royals beat Oak Park (25-13, 25-12), Foothill (25-12, 25-12), and Granada Hills (25-20, 25-19) to earn a top seed and bye. San Marcos was stopped 27-25 by Notre Dame in a one-set match.

Anika Wilson represented San Marcos on the all-tournament team.

“(Anika) was consistent for us the entire day. She passed well for us and is becoming our vocal leader on the court,” noted Royals head coach Erica Downing.

The Royals return to Channel League play on Tuesday with a match against Buena.
