Pool D Championship
STEWARTVILLE tigers 2, HASTINGS raiders 0
(25-12, 25-13)

Stewartville topped Hastings to move on to the semifinal round of the Aerie Challenge in Apple Valley. Stewartville's FBSO game limited any Raider momentum. Julie Rainey had 8 kills for the Tigers on the night.

Stewartville jumped out to a 3-0 lead and never looked back in game one. Julie Rainey knocked down the first kill of the night on the first ball. The Tigers led 10-7 when Hastings started piling up unforced errors for Stewartville. Hastings took a time out at 14-7 and got the ball back on a kill by Elly Braaten. She added another before Emily Rainey put an end to the mini run with a setter dump. She then added two aces in a three point service. The next Raider time out came at 21-10. The end of the game featured three straight missed serves.

Hastings held a slight advantage in the early portion of the second game. The high water mark for Hastings came at 10-8 after three points on Stewartville hitting errors and lifts. A missed serve put the ball into Stephanie York's hands and Julie Rainey helped the Tiger cause with five of the next seven points on kills. Hastings did take a time out and did stop the flow. However after a Hastings passing error to make it 18-13, they never saw the ball again. The Raiders gave Stewartville seven of the last eight points on hitting errors.

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.
