Lamorinda teens Brianna Lee, Erin Meade, Molly Mitchell, and Annika Olson helped power their volleyball club team, NorCal Volleyball Club 15-1, to capture the Northern California volleyball championship earlier this month. In the championship match, NorCal rolled to a 25-19, 25-19 victory over SF Elite, which had won the championship the three prior years. Among other finals match highlights, Lee, the Libero, contributed 16 digs and two service aces, with a flawless no-error serve-receive, and hitters Olson and Mitchell each crushed three kills. Meade, Mitchell, and Olson also put up a formidable wall in the front throughout the two-day championship tournament in Reno, recording numerous blocks.
NorCal earned a National Bid from USA Volleyball, so the girls are headed to Detroit for Nationals at the end of June. This is the fourth consecutive year this team has earned a bid to Nationals.
With its regional championship win, NorCal also finished No. 1 of 122 teams in Northern California for the whole season.
NorCal 15-1 is coached by Ernie and Shari Rodriguez, who also helm Acalanes High School's girls' volleyball program. Meade and Olson attend Acalanes, and Lee and Mitchell attend Campolindo High School.
