West Valley overcame College of San Mateo and De Anza in a pair of crucial Coast Conference matches Friday at the West Valley Beach Volleyball Complex. The twin 3-2 wins improved the Vikings to 11-6 overall, 9-2 in the ultra-competitive Coast, heading into the final three matches of the regular season.
