The Mira Costa boys volleyball team added another piece of history to its program.

The Mustangs, who had already won the CIF-SS Division 1 and SoCal Regional Division I titles this season, made it a championship sweep by defeating Archbishop Mitty 25-14, 25-16, 25-21 Saturday for the Division I title in the inaugural state championship matches at Fresno City College.

“It means a lot, for me personally and the program,” Mira Costa coach Greg Snyder said of winning the state final. “Mike Cook was coach (at Mira Costa) when I played and to do this with him (on the coaching) and this team, means a lot.

“We fell short last year and they were hungry this year.”

The Mustangs finished the season 37-2. After losing a five-set match against Marist (April 5), the Mustangs won their final 10 matches, losing just two sets. Those two sets came in the CIF-SS final against Huntington Beach. The Mustangs won that match in five sets. The loss to Marist was the only one for the Mustangs in the best three-of-five format. The other loss came against Loyola in a best-of-three tournament format.

“They were confident the whole season,” Snyder said of the Mustangs.

The Mustangs drove to Fresno on Saturday morning for their final match of the season.

Against Archbishop Mitty, their depth again led the way to victory. Alex Heins, who Snyder said had “an incredible playoff run,” led the way with 10 kills on 12 attempts. Thatcher Fahlbusch had nine kills. Mateo Fuerbringer and Grayson Bradford finished with eight kill each. Bradford also had six blocks.

“After losing to Marist and after the loss of their friend (Loyola tennis player Braun Levi), this group really turned a corner and focused on their goals,” Snyder said. “They played great volleyball and kicked it into another gear. They were too deep, too good, too skilled. ... It was a great run.”
