From STAFF REPORTS<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

If there is one team that continues to fly under the radar in volleyball circles, it seems to be Poly.<\/p>\n

The Panthers are 19-3 overall, and 9-1 in Prep League battles.<\/p>\n

With two league matches left, Poly finds itself on a hot streak, including Monday’s sweep over La Canada.<\/p>\n

Poly hasn’t lost a two-of-three set match since their September 12th defeat at Westridge.<\/p>\n

And if they hold court in Thursday’s home match with Chadwick, it will set up a title tilt with Westridge next Monday.<\/p>\n

As far as Monday went, Halston Harper led the way with 11 kills and 3 blocks.<\/p>\n

Poly earned a 25-22, 25-20 and 25-23 victory.<\/p>\n

Ella Mao added 9 kills, and Kate Salembier and Zoey Mao finished with 4 kills each.<\/p>\n

Zoey Mao also had 30 assists, and Lauren Kidman had 13 assists.<\/p>\n

The Panthers close out the week on Thursday when they host Chadwick at 3:45.<\/p>\n

Quotable:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Poly coach Steve Beerman:<\/strong> “One team strength that has been consistent all year is togetherness. They care about each other trusting that no matter what the score is they will persevere. Physically, we haven’t played that amazing game yet, but we come in the gym everyday striving to be best that we can be.”<\/p>\n

Poly sophomore Ella Mao:<\/strong> “I am proud of us as a team, because everyone is doing their part of the equation. Every day in the next two weeks of practice and games, we will step up and aim to improve. I think we are excited to see how all of our hard work in the past couple of months will play off.”<\/p>\n

Poly’s remaining schedule:<\/strong>
\nOctober 19: Chadwick at Poly at 3:45
\nOctober 23: Westridge at Poly at 5<\/p>\n

Westridge schedule:<\/strong>
\nOctober 17: Westridge at Mayfield at 5:15
\nOctober 19: Westridge at Flintridge Prep at 5:15
\nOctober 23: Westridge at Poly at 5<\/p>\n

Prep League Standings:<\/strong>
\nWestridge (19-3 overall, 9-0 in league)
\nPoly (19-3, 9-1)
\nMayfield (9-11, 7-2)
\nChadwick (9-8, 5-5)
\nFlintridge Prep (13-8, 4-6)
\nRio Hondo Prep (9-9, 1-9)
\nFirebaugh (0-13, 0-10)<\/p>\n
