That campaign ended Thursday afternoon, with a dominant sweep of rival Lakewood on Poly\u2019s home floor, as the Jackrabbits won the Moore League championship with a 25-18, 25-15, 25-6 victory over the Lancers.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s Poly\u2019s third consecutive league title\u2014they shared it with Lakewood in 2017 and won it outright last year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe really wanted to win league for all of our seniors,\u201d said Poly sophomore outside hitter\/setter Adonia Faumuina. \u201cWe\u2019ve let up in matches before and we didn\u2019t want to do that today, we wanted to keep pushing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Jackrabbits got their most consistent effort of the season passing the ball, with libero Grace Abdoo (13 digs) and back row specialists Nicaylah Iamaleava (7 digs) and Meredith Houston controlling the match from the backline. Their passing allowed Poly\u2019s setters, Faumuina and Pearl Tuliau, to set the Jackrabbit middles more effectively. The Jackrabbits also had eight service aces in the match.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGrace and Nicaylah both had Division 1 type digs tonight,\u201d said Poly coach Leland McGrath. \u201cSome really big-time plays.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To read more, click <a href=\"https:\/\/www.the562.org\/2019\/10\/18\/volleyball-long-beach-poly-sweeps-lakewood-for-moore-league-title\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s the Jackrabbits third straight Moore League title.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":250,"featured_media":17078,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"video","meta":{"newspack_sponsor_sponsorship_scope":"","newspack_sponsor_native_byline_display":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_native_category_display":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_underwriter_style":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_underwriter_placement":"inherit","inline_featured_image":false,"newspack_ads_suppress_ads":false,"newspack_popups_has_disabled_popups":"","_":"","_author_alias":"","cap-aim":"","cap-description":"","cap-display_name":"","cap-first_name":"","cap-jabber":"","cap-last_name":"","cap-linked_account":"","cap-newspack_employer":"","cap-newspack_job_title":"","cap-newspack_phone_number":"","cap-newspack_role":"","cap-user_email":"","cap-user_login":"","cap-website":"","cap-yahooim":"","newspack_article_summary":"","newspack_email_html":"","newspack_email_type":"","newspack_featured_image_position":"","newspack_hide_page_title":"","newspack_hide_updated_date":false,"newspack_post_subtitle":"","newspack_show_share_buttons":"","newspack_sponsor_byline_prefix":"","newspack_sponsor_disclaimer_override":"","newspack_sponsor_flag_override":"","newspack_sponsor_only_direct":"","newspack_sponsor_url":"","newspack_article_summary_title":"Overview:","newspack_show_updated_date":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[7],"newspack_spnsrs_tax":[],"coauthors":[199],"class_list":["post-6380","post","type-post","status-publish","format-video","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sports","tag-high-school-sports","post_format-post-format-video","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lbpost.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6380","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lbpost.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lbpost.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lbpost.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/250"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lbpost.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6380"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/lbpost.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6380\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lbpost.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17078"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lbpost.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6380"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lbpost.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6380"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lbpost.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6380"},{"taxonomy":"newspack_spnsrs_tax","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lbpost.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/newspack_spnsrs_tax?post=6380"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lbpost.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=6380"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
