Maple Lake vs. Hill-Murray
11 a.m., Saturday, Aug. 29

Maple Lake has won the last four Class 2A, Section 5 titles, but now moves on the Section 2 this season. Ranked No. 5 in Class 2A, the Irish will rely on senior outside hitter and all-state honorable mention pick Linsey Rachel (419 kills, 450 digs) for the bulk of their offense. Junior setter Olivia Marquette (384 assists) and sophomore right side hitter Amber Klug (150 kills) give the Irish a balanced attack. 

No. 9-2A Hill-Murray is led by senior right hitter/setter and Class 2A all-state selection Hannah Angeli, who registered 335 kills, 214 digs and 330 assists last season. Senior setter Jordan Buron (353 assists) has great instincts on the floor, and senior outside hitter Haley Lavelle (152 kills, 230 digs) showed a knack for excellent timing on her spikes despite considering herself a libero.
