Bountiful

“This match was one of my favorites this season and a great way to end the season, and as undefeated region champs,” said head coach Kelsie White. “The girls came in focused and ready to compete right away. I told them before the game that if we play our game, focusing on staying on the attack and controlling our side, we will end on top. Each player on and off the court did this and contributed greatly to the win. Our front row hitters all had a great night thanks to our back row putting us in system. Hallie Hewlett had a great night and kept the offense running on tempo while adding three dumps herself.”

Junior Taylor Harvey led offensively with 18 kills while sophomore Milika Satuala added 16 kills.

Hewlett ran the offense with 31 assists while Harvey also had three blocks at the net.

“Overall, I am so proud of the whole team and the way they have all worked so hard this season,” White said. “Sophomore, JV and varsity all improved so much this year. For varsity, we get to keep playing but know that we wouldn’t be where we are without every girl on all three teams contributing the way they do during practice and on the bench cheering.”
