After 3 jump serve aces, she went to a standard serve and Uhlenkott added 2 more kills as Prairie took an 18-2 lead. The intensity backed off at that point but Prairie still outscored Kamiah 7-5 the rest of the way to win by 18. In the second game the two bench players picked up a lot of playing time. One of them, Sydney Bruner helped Prairie take a 7-1 lead with a 5-point service run. She had an ace while VonBargen had 2 kills plus a stuff block. VonBargen and Uhlenkott each had 3-point service runs with all three points as aces as Prairie took a 17-6 lead.

In the third game Kamiah managed their only leads of the night at 0-1 and 2-3 and still had the game close at 8-7. At that point Chaye Uptmor scored a kill that sent Uhlenkott to the service line. It was 22-7 before Uhlenkott missed a serve and the match was all but over. Uhlenkott had 9 aces while Uptmor added 2 kills and Seubert and Hailey Danly each added a kill.

In the first game Prairie jumped out to a 4-1 lead only to see Kamiah come back to take a 5-7 lead.

After a trade of missed serves Bianchi made it 13-1 with 4 more aces. Kamiah was able to get as close as 5 points at 23-18 but a kill by Krogh put the JV’s at game point.
