Delano beat highway 12 rival Orono for the 5AA subsection south title at Minneapolis Henry tonight in three. Back on October 16 Delano won at Orono in a sweep (10, 16, 14). This time Orono scored more, but the results remained the same.

Orono had the early lead in game one at 7-4 after an ace by Kelly Anderson. A tip kill by Delano's Kayla Kassulker stopped 3-0 run and started a five point run of their own. Orono tied it up at 10 all. Delano had another 5-0 run on Cecily Checkal to go up 15-10. Sarah Bingea had a hand on two blocks that sandwiched an overpass kill. Orono tried to stop the momentum at 13-10. Delano had one more five point run at the tail end of the game on Kylie Crofutt's serve. Kayla Koenecke had two kills in that run.

Again Orono held an early lead in game two with the first three points, two on Delano hitting errors. Delano took a time out at 7-3 in the midst of three straight hitting errors. Orono's biggest lead came at 9-4. Delano failed to get the first ball side out in the first three Spartan servers. After that Delano had six straight FBSO. They also started connecting on their serve. It was an 18-6 run for the Tigers. During that stretch Kayla Koenecke had four kills and two aces. Orono took their first time out when they led at 9-8. They took their second time out when trailing 20-14. Orono had two hitting errors in the last three points for Delano.

Delano got the early jump in game three with a 9-2 advantage. Angie Snaza had a five serve run when Orono took their first time out. Snaza had two aces in the stretch. Orono righted the ship with a 7-5 run to make it 14-10. Delano had another four point run with Koenecke serving up two straight aces. That made the score 18-10. Orono kept battling back and closed to 21-18 on an 8-3 run. Briana Royer got the side out kill and then went to the service line. Orono never got the ball back as Royer served up three more points. Koenecke finished the night with a kill.
