High School Roundup: Sage Hill girls’ volleyball wins Pacific Hills League

Addison Uphoff had 13 kills and six service aces as the Sage Hill girls’ volleyball team swept visiting Woodbridge 25-13, 25-4, 25-18 on Tuesday, clinching the outright Pacific Hills League crown in the process.

Sage Hill (18-5, 5-1 in the Pacific Hills League) took care of business on its home court, but the Lightning also received help from third-place University, which toppled Portola in a straight-sets decision. It provided the perfect storm for the Lightning to win a league championship for the first time since 2018.

“From the many challenges of the last few seasons, this group stayed dedicated to each other and to reaching for an outstanding season,” Sage Hill coach Dan Thomassen said. “For our three seniors, it’s one small reward on top of all the joy that hard work and years of perseverance has delivered this season. Even better, this team has high hopes for CIF and embraces the challenges ahead.”

Bella Giarla had nine kills and six aces. Simona Yan added six kills and four aces, and Eve Fowler chipped in with seven kills and three blocks.

The CIF Southern Section will release its girls’ volleyball playoff pairings on Saturday at 10 a.m.

Capistrano Valley Christian 3, Pacifica Christian Orange County 1: Chara Wondercheck had 19 kills and five aces, but the host Tritons fell to the Eagles 18-25, 25-19, 25-23, 26-24 on Tuesday in a San Joaquin League match.
