EASTVIEW TOURNAMENT
Consolation Championship (9th place)
FOREST LAKE rangers 2, ANOKA tornadoes 1
(25-20, 18-25, 15-13)

In many respects a match similar to the Hopkins/Lakeville South contest, Forest Lake beat Anoka in three for the consolation championship. Forest Lake built up an 12-8 lead in set three only to see Anoka make a 4-1 run to make the Rangers sweat. A kill by Lexi Alm finished the match.

A 6 point run by Anoka in the second set pushed them out to a 21-14 lead. Lexi Robinson had three of her 7 match kills in that sequence.

FL had a five point run to lead 5-1 in set three. Three Tornado hitting errors were in the mix.

WOODBURY royals 3, FOREST LAKE rangers 0
(25-14, 25-14, 25-20)

#7AAA Woodbury swept host Forest Lake in a Suburban East match up tonight. The Royals used a strong net game highlighted by 9 blocks in stopping the Rangers. Woodbury used five players over 6-0 at the net. Outside hitter Greta Strenger led the balanced Royals with 12 points.

The Royals broke out from a four all tie in the first game with a seven point run on Strenger's serve. Forest Lake took a time out at 10-4, but Strenger came out of the break with an ace. The burst, plus the fact the Royals never allowed more than two points in a row, helped cement the first set win. 19 of the 25 Woodbury points were earned in the first set.

The second set was similar to the first in many ways. A six point Royal surge put Woodbury up 14-7. But the difference in this set was the unforced errors provided by the Rangers. FL handed Woodbury 16 points in set two. The Royals had five aces in set two.

Forest Lake changed the line up in set three. The Royals weren't fazed and jumped out to a 10-2 run. That forced FL to take a time out. Once again Woodbury earned 19 points in the set. In this set Woodbury had a block party. The Royals earned four points in the last set off blocks. The Royals had a 22-12 lead when FL started to click with an 8-2 run. The Rangers had too much ground to make up and the set ended on a kill by Michelle Graham.

EASTVIEW TOURNAMENT
5th place game
STEWARTVILLE tigers 2, FOREST LAKE rangers 0
(27-25, 25-22)

Stewartville stole a victory in game one and rode that momentum in game two to take 5th place at Eastview over Forest Lake.

Forest Lake jumped to an early 11-5 lead which forced Stewartville to take a time out. The Tigers took their second time out at 19-13 FL. After that Stewie outscored FL 14-5. FL had five hitting errors and three receiving errors in the run. FL led as much as 24-20 late but Julie Rainey served up four straight, including three straight aces to make it 25-24 Stewartville, but she missed deep on her fifth serve. The Stewartville block game came up with three points in the game including the side out to make it 26-25. Andrea Hogan had a hand in two of those points. A back row attack call on FL ended game one. FL explained that it was another player that hit the ball, but the officials did not change the call.

Game two was a tight affair with neither team getting too far out of sight from the other. Stewartville led 16-12, but then four straight points by FL tied it at 16 all. Then it was Stewie's turn to run off four, followed by a FL run of five. First ball side outs were in short supply. That was FL's last lead at 21-20. Stewartville closed with a 5-1 run with a block by Rainey for the final point.
