An emotional day came with an emotional win as Olympus persevered against the defending 3A champion Cougars after five sets. Union took the first point, and after a comeback from Olympus, the Cougars looked primed to take over with a blowout set point in the third. The Titans rallied to force a fifth set and won by the slimmest of margins. Olympus dedicated the win to the grandmother of senior outside hitter Allison Clark, who recently passed away. Clark started the game after attending the funeral earlier that day, arriving just before the varsity start time. "We knew that Union was going to be a tuff team coming in. We took awhile to get going but start to improve as we trusted one another," Olympus coach Preston Rosander said.
