Right Side <strong>Elenzie Franz</strong> had the last three kills for the warriors.</p> <p>Set three was a fight as the WV roller coaster kept rolling. With Waubonsie Valley up 7-5, PN called the timeout. Coach <strong>Matt Slechta</strong> must have seen something he didn't like and wanted to address it. The gap jumped to four points at 16-12 when Plainfield Northcalled their second timeout. a <strong>Lilly Summers</strong> kill, followed by two service aces by <strong>Mekenzie Smith</strong>, brought the score to 16-15 WV.
