Game Details - Girls Volleyball

No. 14 Alta came into the state tournament as a low seed, but pushed its way into the 5A semifinal with a 10-25, 26-24, 25-22, 25-19 win over No. 11 Northridge in the 5A quarterfinal. “We're just playing for each other right now,” said Alta head coach Sara Kane. “We have worked really, really hard all season to overcome a lot of different things in terms of like confidence and changing the trajectory of this program. I think today we're peaking at the right time and I just think they're playing really, really good team volleyball.” Alta sophomores Brooke Ridge and Catherine Brinkman led in hitting with 12 kills each, while Paisley Wallace had 19 digs. The Hawks hope to push their Cinderella run even further in Saturdays 5A semifinals. “Coming in at a low seed, I think a lot of teams underestimate us,” said Kane. “We're scrappy, we work hard, and that definitely came to our advantage today. Overall, they just outwork everybody that they play and that's been something that we've talked about all season long. Going into tomorrow, I'm really confident that we're getting underestimated again, but we love to be an underdog.”
