After watching New Life Academy almost knock off Southwest Christian in their sub section final, the Meadow Creek Christian School girls volleyball team took the court against Heritage Christian. We were expecting to win coming in as the #1 seed and having beat them earlier this year. The Heritage team had a different plan though. After MCCS took an early lead in game one, they quickly found themselves in big trouble, down 23-17. Rolly called a timeout and Kelly Strandland rotation to serve was up. MCCs then rattled off the next 8 points to win 25-23. Heritage was not to be denied yet though as they came back to win game 2 25-19. The MCCS girls decided to take it to Heritage in game 3 winning decisively 25-7.
Heritage never gave up and survived several match points in game 4 before winning 29-27. The crowd was going wild on both sides at this point. Game 5 here we we come! Meadow Creek took an early advantage and never looked back in this game winning 15-4. Senior captain Tija Rudzitis had many blocks and made it clear this wouldn't be her last varsity game. Captain Lauren Sutherland also had a great match.
Here is the link in the Star Tribune showing their record.
