National No. 3 Mater Dei takes on Rockin in the Open Division final.

The California Interscholastic Federation volleyball finals are set to start Friday at Santiago Canyon College in Orange as national No. 3 Mater Dei looks to win its third Open Division title. 

In all, six state champions will be crowned over two days. All games can be streamed on the NFHS Network.

The final championship match on Saturday features Mater Dei (Santa Ana) against NorCal representative Rocklin. The Thunder upset No. 7 Archbishop Mitty on Tuesday in five sets. 

Rocklin's coach, Bret Almaan-Cezar is no stranger to the state finals, having won 11 championships with the aforementioned Archbishop Mitty Monarchs. The Monarchs feature a trio of senior hitters in Addy Scheitlin, Gianna Bogan and Rylee Heinz along with freshman Sidney Jones, who combined for nearly 1,000 kills. 

Mater Dei is battle tested against a schedule of SoCal heavyweights as well as three national tournaments, including a title at the Nike Tournament of Champions Southwest.



The Monarchs feature MaxPreps All-American hitters Layli Ostovar (USC), Westley Matavaoo (UCLA) as well as libero Lizzy Robinson (Oregon) and middles Emma Kingston (Cal) and Addison Coady (USC).
