AA PLAYOFFS
SECTION 1
Stewartville beat Caledonia in five with a margin of 2 points. Julie Rainey had 17 kills and 32 digs for the Tigers. From the Winona Daily News.

SECTION 2
Jordan won the rubber match with LeSueur-Henderson in a sweep with a margin of 25 points. During the year the two teams split their matches. LSH led 24-22 in set one before Jordan rallied for a 28-26 victory. Brittany Chambers had a 20/20 night with 27 kills and 22 digs. From the Jordan News and Mankato Free Press.

SECTION 3
Defending AA champ Marshall swept Yellow Medicine East. The papers that cover these teams don't publish on Sunday. Look for links on Monday.

SECTION 4
I reported (briefly) on the Concordia Roseville sweep of Minnehaha and will get back to the story later today.

SECTION 5
Delano returns to state with a sweep of Foley. Not a link to be found.

SECTION 6
St. Cloud Cathedral, last years AA runner up, beat Rocori in four with a margin of 6 points. From the St. Cloud Times.

SECTION 7
Hibbing topped Esko in a three set sweep with a margin of 25 points. The jump serve was a big weapon for the Bluejackets. From the Duluth News Tribune.

SECTION 8
#2 South Wadena-Deer Creek beat #1 North East Grand Forks in four with a margin of 19 points. WDC's Brigetta Berg had 32 kills and 27 digs. From the Grand Forks Herald.
