Mater Dei High School turned the tables and defeated Edison of Huntington Beach for the Southern California Regional Division II girls volleyball championship Nov. 30.

The win --- a reversal of the Division II-AA final two weeks ago --- puts the Monarchs in the state finals against San Jose Mitty. That match will be played Dec. 4 at Cerritos College.

Marymount High School, meanwhile, could not overcome the loss of a key starter and fell in straight sets to Francis Parker of San Diego in the Southern California Regional Division IV title match. The Sailors were seeking a fifith straight state championship.
