San Marcos survived some tough pool-play matches and rolled through the playoffs to win the San Luis Obispo girls volleyball tournament on Saturday. The Royals beat Clovis North in a one-game final, 25-18. Chloe Allen was named the tournament MVP and Emily Allen and Anika Wilson were picked to the all-tournament team.
“We had to work hard all day to get to the finals,” said San Marcos coach Erica Menzel Downing. “We had a few tough matches in the morning, but we continued to get better as the day went on.”

In pool play, the Royals defeated Elsinore (25-12, 17-25, 15-11), Atascadero (25-19, 23-25, 15-6), and La Reina (18-25, 25-14, 18-16). In the playoffs, they bested Sonora (25-21) and El Toro (25-18) before topping Clovis North in the final. There were 45 teams in the tournament.
