Mountain Ridge Sentinels (21-12) | 12 | 6 | 25 | 0 |
vs Skyridge Falcons (25-2) | 25 | 25 | 27 | 3 |
Top seeded Skyridge earned a return trip to the 6A semifinals after a 25-12, 25-6, 27-25 sweep over Mountain Ridge in the 6A quarterfinals. Mountain Ridge beat Skyridge in last years semifinals, and this year the Falcons got revenge. “That's the first time that I felt like we were focused and engaged through the entire match,” said Skyrdige head coach Silver Fonua. “We've had games throughout the season where we'll win a set and then we struggle in the next set because we took the foot off the gas and let teams in because we feel like there's some cushion. They did a fantastic job of just staying focused. So, I'm proud of what we did. The girls played really hard today, and I felt they kept the dedication through all three sets.” Skyridge’s Kylie Buttars and Cala Cooper led in kills with 13 each. Falcons’ Taylah Kaufusi also had three blocks and two digs in the win. Skyridge will play in the 6A semifinals on Saturday at 11:30 a.m. in the UCCU Center at UVU.
