Glendora High School looked every bit the Palomares League champions on Thursday night.
The Tartans, who went 10-0 in league play, hosted a Westridge program that is under new leadership, and the Tigers were coming off consecutive season’s of not only winning the Prep League championship, but also making CIF-SS semifinal appearances in Division 4 and 3, respectively.
Westridge started to really find their identity midway through the Prep League portion of their schedule and very much challenged GHS through the first two games Thursday night.
But the Tartans wore the Tigers down and earned the first-round sweep in the CIF-SS Division 3 playoffs.
Glendora won by scores of 25-22, 25-23 and 25-12.
Nicole Gibbs had a match-high 11 kills for Westridge and she added 8 digs as well.
Krystal Raymundo contributed 7 kills and 9 digs and Julia Cruz had 11 digs for the Tigers.
Jill Leslie led GHS with 9 kills and a .643 hitting percentage.
Emily Toro added 7 kills and Hanna Briggs finished with 3 aces.
Ally Euston, one of Glendora’s two captains, had 30 assists.
Glendora will host South Torrance on Saturday night at 5.
The Spartans (18-14) swept Louisville (18-16) on Thursday evening.
Records: Westridge (11-12); Glendora (23-5)
