Spartans advance to CIF State second round

The season isn't over for La Cañada girls' volleyball just yet. The Spartans extended their season by at least another game Tuesday, beating Frontier High School in four games, 23-25, 25-17, 25-18, 25-18, in the first round of the CIF State Championships. As usual, senior Courtney McCutchan led the team with 18 kills, and Tara Rallis had 18 digs. Maryjo Scott (seven kills), Micaela Anderson (12), Katie Pierce (six) and Claire Hilsen (six) contributed kills as well. Hayley Woodford had 44 assists. La Cañada will travel to Redlands East Valley High School for the second round of the CIF State Championship for the second year in a row on Nov. 28.  Last year, the Wildcats defeated the Spartans in straight games.
