It wasn't easy for No. 6 Richfield as it swept No. 3 Union in the 3A quarterfinal 25-21, 26-24, 25-18. Richfield found itself in a deficit late in the second set, which would've tied the game 1-1 if Union took it. Richfield head coach Cassy Moon took a time out to try and correct course. "We just called the timeout right there and all we told them was that they were not playing well and that they're better than that," Moon said. "They just needed to lock in on our serve recieve. Once we did that, then we could set up hitters, and we've got five really good hitters. Everybody knows their role." After the timeout Richfield went on a run and took the second set 26-24. It kept its momentum in the third set and steamrolled Union 25-18. Jerzy Moon helped make life easier for the Wildcats with strong serves while outside hitter Abbee Albrecht put pressure on Union with her hits. Senior setter Jordyn Bagley also had a strong game setting up her team. Coach Moon credited her teams resilience to the tough schedule the Wildcats played in the regular season. "I asked them what they wanted when I was getting ready to schedule the season out and they chose teams from bigger classifications," Moon said."We matched up with just bigger schools so our RPI said that we we're middle of the pack, but that was worth it to us because we needed to play teams better than us because you only know then how good you are."
