Sierra Canyon and Mater Dei are two of the top three volleyball teams in the country, but only one will play for the California state title.
The Trailblazers, ranked No. 2 nationally by MaxPreps, host the third-ranked Monarchs on Tuesday in the CIF Open Division SoCal final. The winner moves on to Saturday's championship match against either national No. 10 Archbishop Mitty or Rocklin.
Sierra Canyon (41-3) has won 19 in a row, including a 3-1 victory over Mater Dei (33-5) on Nov. 8.
The Trailblazers are led by a handful of standout juniors including setter Lucky Fasavalu, a MaxPreps National Player of the Year finalist; Hanna McGinest, daughter of former NFL star Willie; and Eva Jeffries, daughter of former NBA player Jared.
On the opposite side, junior Westley Matavao is the top attacking option for the Monarchs, with setters Sam Capinpin and Kalea Lee running the show.
It should be an epic showdown worthy of a final. Here's how to watch all the action:
