Game Details - Girls Volleyball

No. 3 Skyline's Isa Taylor and Bailey Bennet had dominant performances, with 18 and 17 kills respectively, to lead it to a convincing 3-0 sweep over defending 5A champion No. 6 Bountiful. Eagels' head coach Mondo Begay is all too familiar with Bountiful, as the two teams played in last years' 5A championship match and in the semis in 2023. What could've been a scary matchup ended up being a clean 25-20, 25-20 and 25-18 quarterfinal victory. "We really respect Bountiful," Begay said. "We had to play them in the finals last year and we know Milika Satuala is like a master, she's so good. What I loved about (the win) was that we just had to stick to our game plan. We did a lot of scouting and then a lot of studying on what we need to do." Freshman setter Evageline Lotulelei stood out in the quarterfinal win, dishing out 40 assists. Lotuleilei was a player Begay said gave his team an edge throughout Wednesday's games. "She's a freshman, and she's started understanding matchups and the core of who's where and what do we need to set and how do we need to set it," Begay said. The Eagles' advance to tomorrows semifinal against Fremont and will fight to reclaim the throne after being beat by the Redhawks last year.
