Sahuaro had eight aces in the first set against Tombstone, with Comfort connecting on four of those, to help pace the Cougars to a 25-15 win. Sahuaro held a slim 17-15 lead in the second set but a 7-1 run put the Cougars up 24-16. Tombstone went on a late run thanks to the play of Hannah Humphrey who put together a block, two kills and an assist to help cut the lead down to 24-21 but Ava Lopez came up with the championship point for the 25-21 win. Lopez had seven kills in the championship match.
