Game Details - Girls Volleyball

A strong defense led the way to victory for No. 5 seed Corner Canyon as it shocked No. 4 seed Pleasant Grove with a 25-22, 29-27, 26-24 sweep in the 6A quarterfinals. “We went out there and we played with grit,” said Corner Canyon head coach Mindy Ricks. “The girls were tough and Pleasant Grove is a great team and they came out ready to battle. I think we played together as a team and that made a huge difference. We were playing for each other, and we wanted to be on the court with each other.” While Corner Canyon had a big hitting game with Elina Mortensen leading the way with 19 kills, it was the Chargers’ defense that helped it win crucial rallies. Corner Canyon’s libero Brielle Bodily kept multiple plays alive, and set up her teammates well in the 6A quarterfinal win. “(Bodily) just took charge out there and she wasn't letting any ball drop,” said Ricks. “Her cover was amazing, and it was multiple covers in every rally and not only were her digs and defense awesome, but her serve receive was awesome. It just set us up so that we can run our system and stay in our game.” The win puts Corner Canyon in the 6A semifinal where they’ll face top seed Skyridge on Saturday.
