Van Nuys, led by Hala Hadawar's 41 kills and Hana Hadawar's 15 kills and 96 assists, face top-seeded Palisades Palisades, cliffs along the west bank of the Hudson River, NE N.J. and SE N.Y., extending from N of Jersey City, N.J., to the vicinity of Piermont, N.Y., with a general altitude of from 350 ft to 550 ft (107–168 m). in the championship match on Friday at Occidental College History The Birth of Occidental College Occidental College (commonly referred to as Oxy) was founded on April 20, 1887, by a group of Presbyterian clergy and laymen. . The Wolves will be seeking their first title since 1995. ``I'm just so proud to be a part of this,'' said Hala Hadawar, the Wolves' senior captain. ``We wanted this so bad, it's a great to be able to help restore Van Nuys' reputation.'' The Wolves were once a power in the City Section. However, they slipped when coach Dave Bessler was forced out following the 1996 season because of rules violations. Bessler returned in 1999 and has slowly built the program back to its past glory. ``I knew it would take about three years,'' Bessler said. ``We just have some wonderful kids here.

The Chancellors, who reached the finals last season, were undone by their inability to adjust to the Wolves' tips at the net. Chatsworth had to respect the hitting ability of Hala Hadawar and Tara Teslaa (16 kills) but frequently overplayed the net trying to block. ``That was our game plan,'' Bessler said. ``They were a little bit bigger than us  This article has no lead section.To comply with Wikipedia's lead section guidelines, one should be written. and they weren't covering that middle area very well, so we took advantage of it.''

Too often, Chatsworth was forced to pass twice rather than use a set to line up one of their big hitters for a kill. That was most evident in the fifth game. Van Nuys scored the first three points, but Chatsworth came back to tie at 4. Van Nuys then took an 11-6 lead and never trailed after that, although Chatsworth closed to 12-11.

Linda Wang had a team-high 24 kills and setter Carlie Allison had 58 assists for the Chancellors. The first four games followed a similar theme, as the Wolves started quickly in the first and third games and held on to win. The Chancellors did the same in the second and fourth games. Trailing two games to one, the Chancellors put forth their best effort to start the fourth game, as they scored eight consecutive points. Van Nuys rallied to tie the match at 9, and later 11, but the Chancellors scored the final four points to force the fifth game.
