APPLE VALLEY EAGLE INVITATIONAL
Pool D final
CHASKA hawks 2, LAKEVILLE NORTH panthers 1
(25-22, 22-25, 15-11)

The #1 Chaska Hawks survived a nail biter with Lake rival and #4 Lakeville North 2-1.

In set one Lakeville North led 21-17 when Chaska burned their final time out. Just as in set two of the Owatonna/Marshall contest, Chaska finished with an 8-1 run. Bekah Saugen had three of the Hawk points in the run.

LN bounced back with an enormous 10 point string in set two to claim a 12-4 lead. LN led by as much as nine. Chaska roared back with a six point string to close to 17-14. The Hawks tied it up at 21. LN, behind the swing of Amy Braun, got the side out. The Panthers wrapped up set two with a 4-1 run.

LN used that momentum to grab an early 6-2 lead in set three. Chaska, with their raucous fans, scrapped back and took a 9-8 lead. A missed serve tied the game momentarily at nine. But LN missed their serve opportunity opening the door for a four point Hawk run. LN took a time out at 12-9, but Chaska added one more point before the side out. Braun added another kill to close to 13-11. After a Hawk time out Saugen put down a kill. The contest ended on a LN hitting error.

Amy Braun of Lakeville North had 16.5 points to lead both teams. Bekah Saugen had 9.5 points for Chaska.
