The Newport Harbor High girls volleyball team, ranked No. 3 in CIF

Southern Section Division I-A, will open its Sea View League play today

at second-seeded Irvine today at 5 p.m.

The Sailors (5-3) are coming into tonight’s match on a rare two-match

losing streak, dropping back-to-back contests at Mater Dei (15-6, 15-2,

16-14) and at home against Huntington Beach (16-14, 15-12, 12-15, 15-5) last week.

On a positive note, Coach Dan Glenn believes that junior outside

hitter Christine Woller will return after missing three matches with a

sprained ankle.

The last time the two schools played in the Vaqueros’ gym, Newport

pulled off its biggest rally in recent memory. Trailing 2-1 in games and

14-3 in Game 4, Newport rallied to stun the Vaqueros, 15-4, 11-15, 13-15,

17-15, 15-8, on its way to a second straight CIF Southern Section and

Division I state title.

Here’s today’s sports menu:

Newport Harbor’s girls golf team will play nine holes at El Dorado

Golf Course at 3 p.m. against Los Alamitos, while Costa Mesa hosts Irvine

at 2:30 at Costa Mesa Golf and Country Club’s Mesa Linda Course.

The Orange Coast College women’s golf team will play at the Cypress

Golf Club for a 12:30 Orange Empire Conference matchup with Cypress.
