La Jolla dispatched St. Margaret's in one hour, 13 minutes to sweep a first-round CIF Southern California Regional girls volleyball match in three games Nov. 25 before a good-sized, appreciative crowd despite the Thanksgiving week vacation.

The Vikings, not having played since falling to Bishop's in the first round of the Open Division playoffs in CIF San Diego Section, started slowly, dropping to a 7-1 deficit before righting themselves and sweeping all three games.

St. Margaret's (25-6), a private Episcopal school in San Juan Capistrano, drove down to San Diego in an hour in light weekday vacation traffic, but had a much longer trip home in view of the defeat that ended the Tartans' 2014 season. Several supporters accompanied Coach Susie Maga's squad from Capo.

La Jolla (26-11), in contrast, continues in the Southern California Regionals with their next match Saturday, Nov. 29, against an undetermined opponent.
