Mater Dei climbs to No. 2 after winning Nike TOC Southwest title.
The victory flipped the script for Mater Dei after falling to Marymount a week earlier in the Durango Fall Classic semifinals as the Sailors went on to win the prestigious title.
Mater Dei's unbeaten run in Phoenix was more impressive considering they were without the services of leading hitter
Westley Matavao, who was resting her shoulder.
MVP

Like Mater Dei, No. 3
Sierra Canyon (Chatsworth, Calif.) got a bit of redemption Monday by beating Marymount 25-19, 24-26, 25-22, 25-27, 15-11 in the first of two league matches. The Trailblazers evened the season series after the Sailors beat them 2-1 nine days prior in the Durango Fall Classic championship.
A showdown against
Southlake Carroll (Southlake) today and an Oct. 14 meeting against
Keller present the toughest tests over Byron Nelson's remaining seven regular-season matches.
