#3 Alexandria 3, #2 ROCORI 1 (23-25, 14-25, 26-24, 20-25): The Cardinals spring the mild upset in the Gate City Bank Match of the Week heard on KNSI. ROCORI led for most of the first set but a late charge by Alexandria saw the Cards secure the narrow win in the frame. Alexandria cruised in set two and finally put away a hard-fighting Spartans squad in the fourth frame. The Cardinals front court was exceptional, led by outside hitter Hadley Thul and middle blocker Charlotte Lempka. They were both awarded players of the game at the end of the broadcast.

#1 Detroit Lakes 3, #4 Sauk Rapids-Rice 0 (12-25, 17-25, 17-25): Senior Lexi Helmin paced the Storm with 10 kills and seven blocks in what was her final high school match. Ava Athman recorded 10 digs. Alexandria and Detroit Lakes meet for the section title on Thursday.
