SECTION 3AAA
semifinals
LAKEVILLE SOUTH cougars 3, LAKEVILLE NORTH panthers 0
(27-25, 25-23, 25-21)

In a civil war match up #3 South stunned rival #2 North in a revenge sweep. LN was the #1 team in the state overall according to MaxPreps. This was the first time in South's history they beat the Panthers. Since 2005 North swept the Cougars four straight years. South lost to North on September 18 in a sweep.

South rallied in each in every set for the win. In each in every set South scored the last three points to wrap up the win. South took the contest despite the fact they missed 11 serves on the night, while North didn't miss one. Balance was another factor in South's favor. North's Amy Braun had 19 kills, but only one other Panther had five kills. The Cougars countered with five players with five or more kills.

North was caught flatfooted at the start when South scored the first three points, two on aces by Josi Holter. North was forced to take a time out at 5-1 after another ace, this time by Taylor Hrdlichka. The Cougars maintained the early lead, but North had a 7-3 run to take a 16-15 lead. The Panthers bumped that lead out to 19-17. The rest of the set was spent trading three point (or more) runs. South took a 20-19 lead, then North strung together three kills to edge ahead 22-20. South took a time out at 21-20, but didn't get the side out. On the next ball Ellen Krueger got the side for the Cougars with a kill. Taylor Voss added three points off her serve for South to get to the 24-22 edge, but a net violation (South had 5 net violations in the first set alone) gave the ball back to North. A Braun kill and then a violation put North on the verge at 25-24. A North hitting error turned the ball back. Josi Holter served out with a block by Monica Turner and a kill by McKell Anderson ending the set 27-25.

North was forced to burn the first time out at 6-4 in set two when three hitting errors and a block by Jennie Kalbfell put the Cougars up. North had their own four point run later on to retake the lead 12-10. This was in the midst of a 6-1 run. Braun had three of the points. South responded right away with another three point run to lead 13-12. South broke free from a 16 all tie with their third three point run of the set to take a 19-16 lead. That forced another North time out. The momentum shifted North's way after the time out as the Panthers went on a 7-3 run to lead 23-22. McKell Anderson got the key side out kill and then Moncia Turner had a kill and then a block for the final two points.

South's adrenaline was flowing hard at this point. North, with their back against the wall, was fighting for their playoff lives. The combination of these factors put North ahead in most of the key break points. South missed four of five serves in an early stretch of set three, but North didn't move the needle that much. The Panthers did take advantage of the fourth miss to go on a 7-2 run. That forced a South time out at 17-13. Kalbfell had a quick kill after the break to stop the momentum. However a missed serve gave the ball back to North. After that South closed with a vengeance with a 11-3 run. In the first South run Ellen Krueger put down two kills. In the next South run North took a time out at 20 all. It didn't stop the South Express. Braun scored the final North point to make it 22-21 South. Taylor Hrdlichka got the side out kill and then Josi Holter served out. Turner and Hrdlichka took part in a block for point 24 and a Panther hitting error finished the night.

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.

3AAA CHAMPIONSHIP
LAKEVILLE NORTH panthers 3, EAGAN wildcats 1
(25-17, 25-22, 15-25, 25-21)

#1 Lakeville North rallied in game four to close out a 3-1 win over Eagan. The Wildcats led 21-19 in the fourth when a tip kill by Brooke Lewko gave the side out back to LN. Taylor Fieldsted served out the game with Kelsey Brandl delivering four kills and one block for the final five points. Brandl had 21 kills on the night with 7 blocks. Amy Braun led LN with 24 kills.

Lakeville North established their domination early in game one with points off each of their first four servers. LN had three runs of three plus and lead 13-3. Eagan had to use a time out at 11-3. Braun had six kills in the run. LN also had their first ball side out game working with six straight fbso. LN delivered 10 of 13 fbso in game one. Brandl had the first three fbso with kills. Braun had three in this game too. Eagan missed four serves in this game, including point 25.

Again LN jumped out to a 4-0 and 12-4 lead in game two. It is hard to comeback when in a hole that deep, but Eagan kept chipping away. They soon got their own fbso game going in a major way with six straight fbso. Eagan went on a 14-6 run to tie it at 18. After the tie, Eagan's fbso disappeared. There were no major runs, but one point each server adds up. LN led 22-21 and had the serve, but a kill by Brooke Lewko gave the ball back to LN. Brandl put down a block to put LN on the verge. After an Eagan time out Katie Hofstad had a kill. Brandl ended a tight game two with a kill.

Eagan came out in game three and played lights out fbso ball. They were 13/14 for game three and had 11 straight to open the game. The biggest margin Eagan enjoyed was 21-11. LN took time outs at 9-5 and 17-10, but little slowed down the Eagan machine. It was the Eagan middles that stepped it up with Laurel Sanford putting up three blocks and putting down three kills. Kelsey Sparks had five kills and one block. With the win, momentum seemed to have shifted to the Wildcats.

Eagan rode the emotion to a 7-3 lead early in game four. However on Kelsey Brandl's serve LN tied it up with three more points. Eagan kept scrapping and LN never had the lead. A net hugging ace by Andrea Willems put the Wildcats up 14-10. A LN time out again shifted momentum. A side out plus three points off Lindsey Weaver's serve tied it up again at 14. Brandl had two blocks at points 13 and 14. Eagan led 18-15 with a 5-1 run. Sanford had two kills in the burst. Eagan maintained the lead all the way to 21-19. Then Lewko had the side out kill that never gave the ball back. Brandl put five straight points on the board and LN was off to the State tournament.

It is too bad that great teams have to clash in high school gyms and not under the lights of the Xcel Center. It is time for the best to play the best. Tonight two of the top four teams will be ousted in AAA. The state needs to figure out a way to seed the entire state. Sure there will be teams that may feel they didn't get the seed they deserve, of course there will be an occasional upset. But the best will be playing the best. You will drive up interest and the state will see classic matches.

APPLE VALLEY TOURNAMENT
Championship
SHAKOPEE sabers 2, LAKEVILLE NORTH panthers 1
(23-25, 25-23, 15-12)

In a true heavyweight battle #2 Shakopee topped #1 Lakeville North in three. LN rallied from a 17-15 deficit to go ahead 22-20 in game one. Shakopee took the punch and had a counter. They tied it at 23 on an overpass kill by Mariah Monnens. LN took a break and when they returned outside hitter Amy Braun put down two kills. She had six kills in the first game.

It was side out heaven in game two with 10 straight side outs. The first points scored on a serve----a rotation error on LN. The game then morphed into a sequence of five straight rotations with runs of three. That propelled Shakopee to a 17-14 lead. Lakeville North answered the challenge with a 6-3 run to tie the game. Maggie Geske helped lift Shakopee to a 23-20 margin forcing LN to call a time out at 22-20. LN had one last run, but other than the side out kill by Kelsey Brandl, the points were on Shakopee errors. After the Panthers tied the game at 23 Shakopee took a time out. Wittman got the vital side out and then powered it down on Mollie Geske's serve.

In the first five servers in the third game Shakopee was able to get the fbso 4/5 times, LN 1/5 times. That proved to be the difference maker. There was only one run in game three with Shakopee getting two points off LN errors. LN took the a time out at 9-5. Shakopee didn't hesitate to call a time out at 10-6 after a hitting error. It didn't work out Shakopee's way with another hitting error and LN was off the mat ready to challenge. The game moved into side out mode for the next seven servers. That wasn't helping LN's cause as Shakopee moved to the verge at 14-10. Braun nailed two kills to make it 14-12. Shakopee had to talk about it and the break may have iced Ellen Fox who served it deep for the final point. The FBSO difference in game three--Shakopee 7/10 .700; LN 5/9 .556.

LAKEVILLE NORTH panthers 3, CHASKA hawks 0
(25-23, 25-22, 25-16)

The #1 team in AAA Lakeville North rallied for the first two wins on the road at #3 Chaska in a Lake conference battle. LN trailed 23-20 and 24-22 in game one, and 15-13 in game two before mounting comebacks.. LN took a measure of revenge as Chaska topped the Panthers in the AAA finals last year. Kelsey Brandl had 14 kills for LN, Chaska's Bekah Saugen led Chaska with 12.

The gym was packed with three bleacher sides down. The band was there and the Chaska student section was rocking in anticipation of the top level match. Both teams were feeling the adrenaline too as Chaska first jumped out to a 5-1 lead which forced LN to take a time out. Right after the break LN ran off their own five point run to make it 6-5 LN. The Panthers were able to squeeze a point per serve while holding Chaska to a 5/6 FBSO in the next six servers. LN led at this point 16-12. After a quick kill side out by Chaska's Amanda Unze, Brittany Wenzel delivered five straight service points, three on LN errors. That forced LN to burn their second time out at 18-16. LN edged back to retake the lead 20-19. Chaska's #14 picked up a side out kill and then Amanda Konetchy served up three points to put the Hawks up 23-20. LN got the side out on a kill by Amy Braun and then added another point on Braun's serve. #14 again delivered a crucial side out from the left side to make it 24-22 Chaska. Mental toughness is vital in situations like this and LN stepped up. Kirsten Zeise knocked down the side out kill and Taylor Fieldsted never gave the ball back. Kelsey Brandl had a kill and a block in the final three points.

Both teams still had high energy in game two. This was fairly even throughout. Chaska, again, held the advantage early with a 6-2 lead. LN responded, again, with a four point run to lead 8-7. Chaska came back with a 6-2 run on the next three service rotations to take a 13-10 lead. Three LN hitting errors helped. LN took the lead for good on Brandl's serve with a run of three service points. By now the LN sideout game had kicked in. They had five straight FBSO in this run. When Chaska got the ball back after a #14 kill, they missed their serve. LN added two more points and Chaska was forced to talk about it at 20-16 and again at 23-18. Saugen pulled Chaska into striking distance with three kills in a 4-1 run to make it 24-22 LN. Brandl finished the second game with a block.

The two emotional games took something out of Chaska. Lindsey Weaver ran off five straight service points to make it 6-1. The Hawks had to talk about it at 5-1. Brandl had three points in the run, plus Chaska handed one point over on rotation. LN's FBSO game was good for 6/7 in the next sequence putting them in a comfortable 22-9 position. Chaska could not get anything generated. They did rise up with six straight points on Wenzel's serve including two aces. LN stopped to talk at 22-12, but the Hawks added three after that. It was the third time in the evening rotation three had given up a run of three or more for LN. LN did regain their footing closing out with a 3-1 run with Amy Braun finishing the night with a kill.

LN had a better FBSO game tonight and also limited their errors. LN had a rocky start and could have easily stubbed their toe in game one, but they found a way to win when the gym was rocking for Chaska. That gritty win calmed some of the atmosphere and again in the tight fight in game two. I don't have any numbers for individual defense, but both teams had strong efforts.
