After finishing the regular season in second place, earning the #2 seed in the tournament behind #1 Brentwood, the Summit Volleyball team made quick work of #3 Franklin. Brentwood also won their semi-final match against #4 Page in 5 sets. This set up the rubber match against Brentwood. After spliting the regular season matches, it was time to see who was best in the district.

Summit came out firing, taking a 5-0 lead in set one and truly never looked back. The girls took the first three sets by the same score, 25-18, 25-18, 25-18. Their domination was felt throughout the entire gym. Seniors Maggie Kailsz (11) and Skylar Lambert (9) let the team in kills. Senior Bella Lambert was incredible with 18 digs for the Spartans. And not to be outdone, the MVP of the tournament was Senior Amanda Shanahan, tallying 37 assists and a pair of aces for the Champs.
