APPLE VALLEY CHAMPIONSHIP
JORDAN jaguars 2, MINNEOTA vikings 0
(25-21, 25-11)

In a match up of the last year's AA and A Minnesota state champions it was Jordan shaking the cobwebs off after trailing in game one to triumph in the finals.

Minneota led 11-6 when coach Chambers took a time out. That shook things up and Jordan started cleaning up their game. After the time out Jordan outscored Minneota 19-10.

Jordan continued to ride that momentum in game two with a 25-11 victory. Jordan started off with three straight points including an ace from Amanda Dietel. Brittany Chambers had 8 kills in this game plus an ace. Chambers has great court awareness and places the ball where the defense isn't. She can also pound the ball. Besides Chambers the Jaguars have Leah Dietel to pound out kills. Jordan, therefore has two strong options to side out, and they exploit the options every time they get a chance. Jordan had 10 straight FBSO in game two (10/10) and if you go back to game one 12 in a row.
