APPLE VALLEY TOURNAMENT
Quarterfinals
MINNEOTA vikings 2, MOUNDS VIEW mustangs 0
(25-16, 25-14)

It was the smaller school topping the bigger school in the Apple Valley Tournament. Dakota County has three high powered tournaments today and tomorrow and this was the second tournament I touched tonight. In this case the smaller school is the higher rated school Minneota is 3 in class A. At the start of the first set it was the bigger school taking the lead at 5-1. That turned out to be the last MV lead. Minneota went on a six point run to take a 7-5 lead. Leah Fadness was at the service line for that run and contributed two aces. The Vikings had four runs in the first set. MV did close to 15-13, but Minneota finished with a 10-3 run.

In the second set Minneota led from start to finish. The Vikings' defense stopped the Mustangs with seven straight first ball side outs to start the second set. By the time MV scored off their serve Minneota led 14-6. A four point run by the Vikings put the score at 23-11. Minneota was all over the floor on the defensive end making the saves and plays, and covering the blocks. The contest ended on Ashlynn Muhl's kill.

Minneota's Leah Fadness led both teams with 7 points.

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.
