The Palisades High girls and boys volleyball teams hosted a nonleague doubleheader against City Section rival Taft on Monday night with the results likely to have an impact on playoff seeding.
In the girls match, the Dolphins swept, 25-16, 25-21, 25-13, avenging a five-set road loss to the Toreadors on April 12. Coach Carlos Gray’s squad, which fell to Eagle Rock in the City Open Division finals in 2019, improved to 7-1 overall.
Then it was the boys’ turn and Taft won the boys match in four sets, 24-26, 25-22, 25-20, 25-21, less than one month after dropping a home meeting with Palisades by almost identical scores. Palisades’ only other blemish was in four sets to Chatsworth in its season opener April 9.
The Dolphins have yet to drop a set in Western League play in either girls or boys compettition. The girls’ season is normally played in the fall and the boys’ in the spring, but the sports are being played simultaneously this year due to COVID-19.
