Photos: Mira Costa shocks national No. 1 Mater Dei in girls volleyball sweep
A big upset it was not. But it was the speed and dominance that Mira Costa's 25-21, 25-21, 25-19 win Tuesday over previously unbeaten Mater Dei, ranked No. 1 in the SBLive National Power 25 rankings, was not expected.

Then again, Mira Costa (12-1) came in ranked third nationally.
Sophomore Audrey Flanagan had 16 kills and Rachel Moglia added 10, USC-bound libero Taylor Deckert contributed 22 digs and Wisconsin-bound sett Charlie Fuerbringer orchestrated it all for the Mustangs.
