Beaver Local was able to take the first set 25-19, led on the front lines by Brooke Talbot and Grace Hill, while Kodi Kinsey held things down on the back line. Leah Riccardo was also a big contributor for the Beavers in the opening set.

The second set was much closer, as the Red Devils gave the Beavers just about everything they could handle, but the Beavers came out on top in set number 2 by a score of 25-22. Once again, it was Grace Hill controlling the front line and Kodi Kinsey controlling the back line, but it was junior Emma Joseph that was able to rack up some assists Hill, Talbot, and Riccardo in the second set.

It was more of the same for the Beavers in the third set, but the Red Devils seemed to run out of gas, as the Beavers took the final set 25-14. Briar Wolski and Eli Kolkowski were able to make their presence known in the final set, while Hill, Talbot, Kinsey, and Joseph continued to do their thing en route to the sweep and sectional championship.
