We’ll never know if a top-notch Mater Dei was good enough to finish the deal last year.

Thanks in large part to Archbishop Mitty, the best of what Mater Dei had to offer was kept under wraps as Mitty upset Mater Dei in the CA Open Division state championship.

A year later, Mater Dei returned to the same stage looking to close and bring home the program’s first state championship. This time, there was no doubt what a clicking Mater Dei squad was capable of. Turning in a near-perfect performance, Mater Dei swept Central, 25-13, 25-12, 25-13, Saturday night to conclude its season.
