ATHERTON, CA – #2 Men's Volleyball falls to #1 Vanguard, 3-0. All of California has been dealing with historical weather conditions this weekend and this morning was no different. A power outage at Haynes-Prim Pavilion resulted in a relocation of the game to neighboring high school, Menlo School. The auditorium was packed with Vanguard and Menlo fans which created a competitive atmosphere. Vanguard and Menlo were back and forth the entire match but fell in 3 (19-25, 20-25, 23-25).
