BOYS VOLLEYBALL CHAMPIONSHIPS

DIVISION II

Tustin (16-4) vs. Goleta Dos Pueblos (18-5)

4 TODAY: CYPRESS COLLEGE

Unseeded Tustin is the surprise team of the Division II playoffs. The Tillers will try to upset fourth-seeded Dos Pueblos to win their first section title since 1995, when Curtis Jackson and Donnie Rafter led their championship charge. And like that ’95 team, this year’s Tustin squad isn’t big. But Daniel Dizon, Kevin Kowalski and Eduardo Araza are talented, and they have already led Tustin past some big and powerful opponents, including third-seeded Mater Dei, the South Coast League champion, in the quarterfinals and Redondo Beach Redondo Union in the semifinals.
