``I think he's one of the finest setters around right now,'' Harvard-Westlake coach Jess Quiroz said. ``His contribution to the ball club is he gets the ball to the hitters.'' Morrow did it often Tuesday, getting credit for 29 assists. Rick Rauth and Jim Ostridge led the Wolverines (9-0, 6-0) with 10 kills each. Morrow spent much of his spring break in Florence, Italy, where his brother, Chris, is studying. ``We got to see a lot of stuff,'' Morrow said, noting a special interest in the city's vast exhibits of Renaissance art. ``And we got to see my brother, which was great.''

We played pretty well today.''

The Wolverines had an easy go in the first game, running off a 10-1 lead before winning 15-2. A 9-2 run off a 6-4 lead gave them the second. They were down as much as 7-2 in the third, but tied the game at 8-8 and 10-10 before going on a 5-0 run to claim the match. ``Harvard-Westlake is always good,'' said Notre Dame Notre Dame IPA: [nɔtʁ dam] is French for Our Lady, referring to the Virgin Mary.
