The semifinal matches were played against Rincon and University High. The final match was against Sabino. Sahuaro won that match 2-0, the scores being 25-14 and 25-15.

Madi Nash and Brielle Sterns, the hitters or people hitting the ball offensively, combined for thirteen ‘kills’ (points made from a spike, tip, or dump) during the champion match in the first set by itself.

Morgan Nash, a senior and member of the team stated,  “We played seven games including Pueblo, Tanque Verde, Sabino, Rincon, Desert Christian, and I don’t know what else. It was fun and exciting and nerve racking at times.”

In the pool play, Sahuaro’s scores were 2-0 over Tanque Verde and Desert Christian.
