Volleyball | California | 2026-10-29 | Final: San Pedro 3, University 2
LOS ANGELES, Calif. — San Pedro advanced in the Los Angeles City Section Division I girls volleyball playoffs with a five-set victory over University on October 29. The Pirates recovered from losing the opening set and held on 15-13 in the deciding fifth.
University took the first set 25-23, but San Pedro answered with consecutive wins, 25-19 and 25-13. The Wildcats then forced a fifth set by taking the fourth 25-19, leaving the match to be decided by just two points.
The victory extended San Pedro’s winning streak to four matches and demonstrated the Pirates’ ability to withstand a late challenge after briefly taking control of the contest. University had pushed the higher seed to the limit in a match featuring multiple momentum shifts.
San Pedro moved on to face Sherman Oaks CES in the next round. The result provides a useful example of why set-by-set scores matter: a simple 3-2 final does not fully capture the narrow finish or the comeback and counter-comeback along the way.
