SMHS 25 22 25 25 3 WHHS 15 25 20 12 1 After a three-day break, the Cardinals would return and put on a great match in the NVC final with a tough Elgin/Pope John Wolfpack team. The first set showed immediately how evenly matched these two teams were. The Wolfpack just narrowly beat out the Cards by three points. Set two showed the Cardinals potentially losing their second match when the Wolfpack took it. This was bad news for the Cards, but they were not discouraged. They managed to flip the game in their favor when they stole sets three and four. It was now 2-2, and whoever took the fifth set would also take the game. It was a close call, but the Cards were able to close the gap and took the victory. This was a very close match and both teams put up a great effort. Hedstrom was the MVP with her 29 kills, two blocks, 18 digs and one set assist; Reiman 19 kills, two ace serves, two blocks, 18 digs and one set assist; Ickes eight kills, three ace serves, one block, 22 digs and three set assists; Williamson six kills, one block and three digs; Eby three kills, one ace serve, two blocks, two digs and two set assists; Brabec two kills, 13 digs and 57 set assists; Barlow two kills and nine digs; and Otte four digs.
