Saint Francis downed Presentation 25-19, 28-18, 25-15 on Wednesday in the West Catholic Athletic League girls volleyball regular-season finale.

The Lancers (17-10, 7-3) finish in sole possession of third place, right behind Mitty and St. Ignatius, who both finished with 8-2 league records.

St. Francis finished the regular season winning eight of 10 matches.

Mitty beat Valley Christian 25-15, 25-22, 25-22 on Wednesday.

Mitty, which lost two of three matches to St. Francis this season, will likely receive the top seed for the Central Coast Section Open Division, which begins Saturday at campus sites.

The seeding meeting is scheduled for noon Thursday at the CCS offices.

St. Ignatius will likely receive the No. 2 seed and St. Francis the third seed. SI beat the Lancers twice this season.

After that, it’s a wide-open field, with at least 10 other teams with a chance at an Open Division spot, among them Sacred Heart Cathedral, Hillsdale, Los Gatos, Menlo School, Sacred Heart Prep and Mountain View.
