Game Details - Girls Volleyball

For the first time since 2016, No. 4 Delta is headed to the state semifinals after a 3-0 sweep over No. 5 Union in Monday's 3A bracket play. While Union never won a set, it kept things close throughout the 3A quarterfinal, particuarly in the third set when it earned a 15-11 lead. The Rabbits answered and won back a 19-16 lead. It then went on to win the set 25-21 for the 3-0 victory. “Our team this year has grit, and I think that's we just knew we'd have to come together,” said Delta head coach Kelbey Fisher. “They fight together and know we just can't give up on each other. We knew they'd come back, we just had to take it one point at a time.” Junior outside hitter Tayden King was stepped up for the Rabbits' offense with 21 kills in its first-round game with Carbon. Then Daijah Willoughby led the offense in the quarterfinal with Union with 13 kills. Serving was also a strong point for Delta with 10 aces as a team in the win over Union. Tomorrow's semifinal with North Sanpete is significant for Delta as they rarely make it to day two of the state tournament still on the winners side of things. Fisher plans to take it with the same patience and attention to detail his team had in day one. "I think the message is that grit, one point at a time," Fisher said. "We know what we can compete with if we just have that grit, one point at a time attitude."
