Orange Coast def. Irvine Valley
The host Pirates clinched at least a share of the Pacific Coast Conference title and assured themselves of being the conference's No. 1 postseason representative with a 25-19, 27-25, 25-21 triumph on Wednesday.
Earning the conference's No. 1 playoff seeding propels OCC (17-1, 10-1 in conference) directly into the State Final Four that begins April 23 at Santiago Canyon College. OCC owns the tiebreaker advantage with PCC co-leader Grossmont, based on games won in the two matches the teams split.
Ty Hutchins had 15 kills and Jim Webb added 13 on Wednesday for the Pirates, who complete the regular season Friday at last-place San Diego Mesa.
Brandon Duff had 39 assists to help OCC claim its third PCC title in four seasons, the 16th in the 31-season history of the program.
Irvine Valley fell to 11-7, 7-4.
