SAN DIEGO – In their last match of the season, Point Loma hosted Dominican (CA) in hopes of securing one of their best records in recent history.

The third set was another battle but Point Loma put together their best offensive set, hitting .324 as a team, with 16 kills and only four errors. Senior, Kayla Chapman went 5-of-5 in the set on her way to a .571 hitting percentage for the match.
