Nail-biting is not an understatement for the way the match’s first three sets played out, as each of them were decided by three points or fewer. In the first set, Carroll jumped out to an early lead before Webster City battled back with a run of their own. Things remained close down the stretch, but the Tigers pulled through at the end of the frame to record a 25-23 win. Things were similar in set two, as the two teams battled back-and-forth from start to finish. It was the Tigers again, however, who came out on top in the end, winning 25-22 to take a 2-0 lead on the match.

Webster City broke the trend in the third set, taking control down the stretch to stay alive with a 25-23 win. Carroll was quick to stop their momentum, though, and clinched the match with a 25-17 set-four victory, ending Webster City’s season and punching a ticket to the semifinals.
