“It was 22-14 in the fourth set after a termination from Canadian transfer Addy Benefield, and Mira Costa’s Cam Green gathered his team for a timeout, three points away from a loss to Redondo Union. Wouldn’t it be a cool story, they laughed, if they came back to win?”

During the run, Benefield collected three of the team’s 12 aces. The Sea Hawks also got strong contributions on serves from Summer Suppik, who had four aces, and Madi Collins, whose serve on set point forced a Marymount double contact violation.
“Our big momentum shift was definitely Addy’s serving run,” Zimmerman said.
Added Benefield: “First through fourth (sets), I missed a couple, and just having your team back you up and always just keep you playing, I think it’s really important to have a team that will motivate you even if you’ve missed so many.”
