Girls volleyball: Sailors get much-needed win

NEWPORT BEACH - The Newport Harbor High girls volleyball team saw a

glimpse of the future in Wednesday night’s Sea View League win over

visiting Laguna Hills.

Freshman Kristin McClune recorded a career-high 17 kills to lead the

Sailors to a 15-5, 15-6, 15-3 win over the Hawks.

Junior Liz Lord added 11 kills for the Sailors (6-5), ranked No. 3 in

CIF Southern Section Division I-A.

Coach Dan Glenn still saw things that needed to improve but was happy

to be on the right side of the decision again.

“We still missed way too many serves,” Glenn said. “That’s how you get

two players with 17 and 11 kills in such a low-scoring match. But at this

point, a win is a win.”

The Sailors travel to Santa Margarita, ranked No. 4 in Division II-AA

Friday night at 6.
