Manti Templars (21-11) | 25 | 25 | 25 | 3 |
vs Canyon View Falcons (16-10) | 23 | 20 | 21 | 0 |
Manti and Canyon View split their two games during the regular season, but No. 5 seed Manti prevailed in the grudge match in the 3A quarterfinals in beating No. 4 Manti 25-23, 25-20, 25-1. "We’re a very well-balanced team. We don’t really have an all-star. It’s just a bunch of really good girls who play well together as a team. And they give each other the credit. It’s a really unselfish team," said Manti coach Aaron Smith. He thought defense was the key to the sweep at UVU on Thursday. "Defense just took over the game, picking up everything they could throw at us," said Smith. Manti liberto Cadee Alder had a big defensively, as did sophomore Addison Howell with a really important blocking game.
