Annie Mitchern led the victorious Lasers (24-0) with 14 points and 11 kills. Nicole Hareland had 10 points and nine kills for ARC, which dropped to 26-4.
In the four-team tournament's first match, Grossmont fell to Cabrillo, keeping the Seahawks undefeated. The Griffins, who won only the second set, slipped to 28-4. The match was highlighted by Cabrillo freshman outside hitter Kelsey Shaver setting a state championship-match record for most kills by a North Region player with 31.
