Softball: Marlboro, seeking to be battletested, gets 'big' win over Arlington

Post Season Reflections – From Finish to Start
Congratulations to the Cal Lutheran Men’s Volleyball team for meeting every challenge along the way to culminate an astounding ’24 season with a 3-0 victory over Vassar in the National Championship on Sunday. Most reading this post watched the game to see exactly how it played out, not needing any insight to know Vassar was right there in the hunt, making it deceptively closer than the image a 3-0 on a bracket conjures up. They weren’t able to get over the top in any set, particularly the third. Mostly because Cal Lu’s magnificent heart shown on Friday gave way to a mindful and relentless pursuit by refusing to allow Vassar’s grit to get them on the board. Maybe the Kingsmen were inspired by a memory of Dominican earlier this year or Loras last week on this same court, when both times they sprinted to a two set lead, only to hang on by a deuce in the 5th, not wanting to revisit that hollow feeling again.
