The Chaminade Middle School Girls Delphic
Volleyball team captured its first ever Delphic League volleyball
championship, beating Harvard-Westlake in two close games; 28-26 and
27-25. Coached by 13-year Chaminade veteran volleyball coach and
assistant athletic director Mike Anderson, the team was anchored by its
captains and 3-year varsity starters, Rio Morigi (setter) and Reagan
Clark (outside hitter). They faced tough competition from a
Harvard-Westlake team led by its captain and hitter, Madison McAndrews.
Morigi and McAndrews are club teammates with SCVA division 1 ranked
Sunshine Volleyball Club in Santa Monica and Clark recently played for
division 1 ranked Santa Monica Beach Volleyball Club.
